Another thing about the #EnvironmentalJustice Mapping and Data Collection Act is that Sen. @EdMarkey an Rep. @CoriBush have done an incredible job designing this bill directly with experts & community members! Their excellent leg teams built on the wealth of knowledge out there.
Sen. @EdMarkey & Rep. @CoriBush listened to advice to pay attention not just to the data but also to the process of designing a mapping system w/communities' input. This is so important when there are frontline communities in CA, NY, WA, etc. who have built such tools already!
Pieces of the EJ Mapping Act also borrow from this report I had the honor of working on w/colleagues at @EvergreenAction, laying out how a mapping tool could and should include wide input. Thank you @EdMarkey & @CoriBush for looking at the models we have.

I'm so excited for a robust national #EnvironmentalJustice Map we can use to ensure the Biden Administration meets its promises to direct 40% of climate investments to frontline communities, and to do so much more. Read what's in the bill from @RepCori:

BREAKING: Senator @EdMarkey and Rep. @CoriBush introduce the #EnvironmentalJustice Mapping and Data Collection Act of 2021, to create a whole-of-government initiative, funding, and data infrastructure to determine environmental risks affecting communities across the U.S.
"With the bold an expansive Executive Orders that President Biden has signed, he has showed us that #EnvironmentalJustice will be at the heart of the response to the #climatecrisis. Yesterday's actions were just a start." @EdMarkey, introducing Environmental Justice Mapping Act.
"Our legislation will launch a whole of government effort using demographic data to identify who is at most risk from environmental injustices. Our bill also focuses on the process of creating this tool. This must bring decision making power into frontline communities." @EdMarkey

Today @JoeBiden takes big steps on #ClimateAction
✅Creating a National Climate Task Force
✅Setting clean procurement standards
✅Stopping new oil & gas leases on public lands
✅Calling for a Civilian Conservation Corps
✅Kicking off the Justice40 Initiative

This is a start!
Biden borrows from the best ideas out there--like from NY State's landmark climate law of 2019 that set a 40% EJ investment target. Don't forget that movements got us here and movements are what will push the Biden administration to do everything we need.
Stopping oil & gas lease sales on public lands will have a huge impact, including for communities defending their lands from fossil fuel extraction. It is the fights against pipelines like #KeystoneXL #DAPL and against fracking that have won this victory.
