Donald McEachin: “The Environmental Justice For All Act will take critical steps to address disproportionate environmental and public…”

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.

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.
