The paper explores the interconnectedness of environmental justice and community advocacy, focusing on the significance of collective action in addressing environmental disparities. It argues that environmental justice is not only a legal and ethical framework but also a practice that necessitates community engagement and activism. By examining case studies from various regions, the paper highlights the challenges faced by marginalized communities in the face of environmental degradation and the importance of advocacy in protecting their rights. It further discusses the role of community leaders, non-profit organizations, and government policies in promoting environmental justice. The study underscores the need for a holistic approach that combines environmental protection with social justice to ensure the well-being of all stakeholders.
