If you believe our government must do more to combat climate injustice and environmental racism, take action today. We’ll share your stories directly with the EPA for bold action to be taken. Share TWO things:
- How your community is facing or may face climate injustice or environmental racism. Perhaps you have an oil refinery or toxic waste site in your community, or you reside in a coastal city that is at higher risk of floods, or you belong to a community who won’t be able to migrate easily if necessary due to a natural disaster.
- Your vision for a greener future for your community. Perhaps you envision a future where everyone in your community has equal access to electric-powered transportation or where there are more public parks.
