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.
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.
The act will also hold companies accountable by allowing those of us impacted to seek legal remedy when they discriminate against us.
I think it distracts from our shared goal of solving these problems for these communities.
