Donald McEachin: “Everyone needs and deserves ready access to safe drinking water, but in many areas that right is under threat.”

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.

The Environmental Justice for All Act is informed by the belief that federal policy can and should strive for environmental justice, health equity, and climate justice for all deliberately overlooked and underserved communities.

We commend the environmental justice advocates who contributed to this legislation along with Chair Grijalva and Representative McEachin.
