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