This legislation will amend and strengthen Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which will prohibit discrimination based on the disparate impact we endure as Black, fenceline communities.
We ask the Chair, members of the Committee, and the Congress to meet this moment, show that the Congress listens to the voices of the people, and pass the Environmental Justice for All Act.
We commend the environmental justice advocates who contributed to this legislation along with Chair Grijalva and Representative McEachin.
