Environmental justice movements are inherently plural and network-based, not singular in principle or structure

Evidence

It is also important that environmental justice organizing—USA or global—has never been about establishing a major, single NGO based in DC or London or anywhere. Nor has it ever been about developing a singular and universal notion of justice; rather, its principles are inherently plural. Environmental justice organizing has always been networkbased, and those networks have recognition and democratic process at their core. Nor has environmental justice ever been about one issue, outlook, critique, demand, or strategy. Unity comes with the recognition of both similarities and differences, and an understanding of how different contexts define various groups. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 617
