We commend the environmental justice advocates who contributed to this legislation along with Chair Grijalva and Representative McEachin.
The Environmental Justice for All Act is informed by the belief that federal policy can and should strive for environmental justice, health equity, and climate justice for all deliberately overlooked and underserved communities.
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.
