Donald McEachin: “As I said earlier, climate change is a civil rights issue.”

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.

I think it distracts from our shared goal of solving these problems for these communities.

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 need tools. We have to modernize our Federal Government.
