"We need to pass the Environmental Justice Air Quality Monitoring Act in order to provide EPA with the resources to kickstart hyper-local monitoring programs in environmental justice communities across..."

"This legislation would authorize $100 million annually to establish a 5-year pilot program for hyper-local air quality monitoring projects in environmental justice communities."

"Formerly redlined communities experience as much as double the amount of air pollution as non-redlined communities, and race plays a big role, even within the same communities."

"We saw it again in Chelsea, Massachusetts, where Congresswoman Pressley and Senator Markey intervened to have an air quality monitor placed in that city."
