Donald McEachin: “The single greatest threat to the United States' resource wealth is climate change and associated resource depletion.”

McEachin and Grijalva are doing exactly what elected officials should do, by ensuring that communities closest to the problem have a seat at the table as we develop policy solutions.

The act will also hold companies accountable by allowing those of us impacted to seek legal remedy when they discriminate against us.

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.
