<p>The intersections of climate change, environmental justice, government policy, and impacts on rights of nature and humans are examined by exploring urban and rural community narratives on displacement and gentrification. The narratives provide an overview of how past/present policies and environmental justice issues negatively affect marginalized communities and ecosystems. The narratives also attend to the resilience and resistance of tribal communities and communities of color in navigating the return of land to its original inhabitants. Strategies for righting, reclaiming, and protecting places, spaces, and lifeways are highlighted by sharing ancestral and emerging collective actions from tribal, urban, and island localities in hopes to inform the social work profession’s future allyship, advocacy, and action.</p>
