Donald McEachin: “He says he wants a bipartisan deal, but then he says he won't support any that are brought to him.”

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 have Pueblo and Dine and Chicano communities that are still dealing with mines that have been left unremediated and contaminated groundwater that is undrinkable.

This is not a hypothetical. This is something that has affected our communities for generations.

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