An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Congress, pass S. 872 / H.R. 2021 the Environmental Justice for All Act!

129 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

I want Congress to immediately pass S. 872 / H.R. 2021 the Environmental Justice for All Act, the most significant effort by the federal government to address generations of environmental racism. Environmental injustice is deeply rooted in American history. Black, brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities suffer vastly disproportionate impacts from climate change and environmental hazards. The EJ for All Act paves the way for remedying a long history of environmental harm and racism and ensuring fair treatment. The EJ for All Act would enable frontline communities to hold polluters accountable in court for projects that use federal funds and engage in environmental discrimination. It contains bold policies that will strengthen the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to require federal agencies to consider the cumulative and disproportionate impacts of pollution on low-income communities and communities of color and would use new fees on oil, gas, and coal companies to fund investments in environmental justice communities. Congress must pass the Environmental Justice for All Act and immediately begin to address generations of environmental racism! Thanks.
