Recognition and participation demands usually coexist with, not replace, equity claims in movements

Evidence

In the move to describe injustices based on a lack of recognition of identity and difference, exclusion from political participation, and decimation of individual and community capabilities, much of contemporary justice theory shifts the focus away from the more traditional territory of distributive justice, toward a focus on the postmaterial demands of new social movements around identity and community generally, and race, gender, sexuality, and sustainability more specifically. Calls for the recognition of group difference and political participation have, at times, eclipsed claims for social and economic equity, yet the different demands more often exist simultaneously in the same movement. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 166
