“As a national alliance of frontline groups and environmental justice organizations, the Climate Justice Alliance is excited to support the establishment of this interagency committee as a good starting point and first step toward engaging the very communities who have bared the brunt of environmental racism and injustice for far too long,” said Elizabeth Yeampierre, Executive Director of UPROSE and Board Co-Chair of the Climate Justice Alliance. We look forward to ensuring it truly supports those communities most impacted, those who are forging local climate justice solutions that stop the practice of sacrifice zones continued through false solutions, and rather resource just, community based solutions that leave no one behind.”
