Beneath the surface of Biden prioritizing #ClimateAction is an intra-movement struggle over political influence and enviro. policy. Through the power built by years of organizing, #EnvironmentalJustice groups are flexing their muscle, setting a new agenda.
latimes.com/politics/story… This is 🔥! Historically, well-resourced white-led groups have dominated environmental politics. That is changing. Under a ripe political moment #EnvironmentalJustice groups are pushing back against old-school thinking and wielding unprecedented influence.

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!

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.

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.
