Tell Congress: We Need Environmental Justice for All: A clean and healthy environment is inextricably linked to the larger issue of racial justice and equity. We must acknowledge the disproportionate environmental impacts faced by people of color – and we must also act to confront racism and inequality.
This action starts in our communities. But lawmakers must also act to combat systemic racism and protect clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment for all, not just some.
U.S. Rep. Donald McEachin’s landmark Environmental Justice for All Act (H.R. 5986) would go a long way in fighting the decades of environmental degradation faced by communities of color.
This legislation supports workers as we transition away from harmful fossil fuels, protects communities from pollution that dirties our air and water, strengthens the Civil Rights Act, and provides grants for on-the-ground research and programs to combat health disparities in environmental justice communities.
We need Environmental Justice for All. Join us in calling on Congress to act!

His chiding of those berating, confiding in
peers, pals, kin, from neighbor's din
to seaside inn, with 'backwards', caused chagrin.
My heart did jump in, 'backwardness'
could never extinct humanity,
like the religion of scientism has
in only the latest 400 years
of it's tryst with oligarchy.
'One insect damaging so much grain',
one instant evolutionarily,
destroying so much grace,
that it took the Cosmos 18 billion
years of evolution to create.
"Truer words were n'er spoken",
was his snort, in retort,
as we savaged our insides on
with tonics, nuts, gin.
