A CHANGE MUST COME: THE INTERSECTION OF INTERGENERATIONAL POVERTY AND PUBLIC BENEFITS |
14 DePaul Journal for Social Justice 1 (Winter, 2021) |
Despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world, the United States continues on in its trend of passing on a low quality of life from one generation of the poor to the next--thereby exacerbating and perpetuating poverty into the foreseeable future.

ENVIRONMENTAL RACISM: USING ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING TO LIFT PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY, AND RE-SHAPE THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE & POLLUTION IN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR |

Long before the phrase I can't breathe became a rallying cry for Black Lives Matter activists protesting the deaths of Black people at the hands of police, environmental-justice activists warned that pollution was choking and killing people of color in the U.S. In the mid-1900s the United States began to see a rise in concern for environmental... |

FUNERAL POVERTY |
55 University of Richmond Law Review 387 (Winter, 2021) |
Death is an expensive proposition. The economics of life do not end with death, and putting the deceased to rest carries (often unexpected) funerary expenses for cremations, funerals, burials, and/or memorials. In 2019, the median cost of an adult funeral with viewing and burial exceeded $9000. This number is particularly stark given that four out... |
