We commend the environmental justice advocates who contributed to this legislation along with Chair Grijalva and Representative McEachin.
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.
The act will also hold companies accountable by allowing those of us impacted to seek legal remedy when they discriminate against us.
