Donald McEachin: “In my judgment, nothing is more important than speeding our transition to a sustainable green-collar economy.”

The Environmental Justice for All Act is a long overdue correction to our nation's failed chemical management policies.

We have Pueblo and Dine and Chicano communities that are still dealing with mines that have been left unremediated and contaminated groundwater that is undrinkable.

We commend the environmental justice advocates who contributed to this legislation along with Chair Grijalva and Representative McEachin.

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.
