Environmental Justice Caucus

The Senate's first-ever Environmental Justice Caucus | Every American has the right to breathe safe air, drink clean water and live on uncontaminated land.

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

Prioritizing environmental justice means providing all communities with a seat at the table. It's clear that @POTUS and his administration are committed to engaging with stakeholders as part of #Justice40 — something I appreciate as a co-chair of @EJusticeCaucus.

[Environmental Justice Caucus @EJusticeCaucus]

We are grateful for the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to engage with stakeholders from environmental justice communities. @SenatorCarper, @SenBooker and @SenDuckworth's statement on the @WHCEQ's new report⬇️

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

As a founding co-chair of the Senate’s first-ever @EJusticeCaucus, I'm proud @POTUS’s admin has made environmental justice a real priority. This week will highlight historic EJ initiatives—from Justice40 to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we're making progress at long last.

[Environmental Justice Caucus @EJusticeCaucus]

Every American has a right to drink clean water, breathe clean air and live in communities free of pollution, and this announcement moves us closer to a future where that is a reality.

[Environmental Justice Caucus @EJusticeCaucus]

Pleased that the Biden Administration is making another big move to prioritize environmental justice through the creation of this new office at @TheJusticeDept. The EJC looks forward to working with DOJ and EPA to help communities that unfairly bear the brunt of pollution.

By strengthening enforcement against the bad actors that exploit our most disadvantaged communities, we will better be able to protect public health and promote equity for every citizen, no matter their zip code.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal does not go far enough to restore and protect the environmental justice communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

We can and must do more to invest in a brighter future for all Americans.👇

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Let's be clear: To achieve environmental justice for all, we have to treat every day like Earth Day.

Here's what I've done the last two years to move us closer to that reality👇🌎

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Every American has the right to breathe clean air, drink safe water, and live on uncontaminated land—no matter their zip code or skin color. Let's be bold and take swift action on #EnvironmentalJustice so every American can live in a safe, sustainable environment.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor the legacy of Hazel Johnson, the “Mother of Environmental Justice” by continuing to fight for bold, robust environmental legislation. Every American has the right to breathe clean air, drink safe water, & live on uncontaminated land.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Environmental justice and racial justice go hand in hand. This #BlackHistoryMonth, I am proud to join the @EJusticeCaucus in demanding #EnvironmentalJusticeNow.

[Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker]

"If we want a safe environment for our children and grandchildren, we must clean up our act, no matter how hard a task it might be.” Hazel Johnson, mother of environmental justice #BlackHistoryMonth

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

Every American has the right to breathe clean air, drink safe water and live on uncontaminated land—no matter their zip code or the color of their skin. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we must take bold, swift action on #EnvironmentalJustice.

[Senate EPW Democrats @EPWCmte]

This #BHM, we are thinking about Hazel Johnson, mother of the environmental justice movement.

It's time to do right by her and everyone who has suffered from living near air pollution, contaminated water, and toxic waste.

🚰🌎✊🏾

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

Environmental justice is about following the golden rule. I co-founded @EJusticeCaucus with @SenDuckworth and @SenBooker because we have a moral obligation to provide Americans with clean air to breathe and clean water to drink, regardless of race or zip code. It's time to act.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

When Hazel Johnson moved to Chicago & learned her community was a dumping ground for toxic waste from nearby factories, she refused to stay silent. Decades later, I'm proud to continue her work for environmental justice for all as co-founder of the @EJusticeCaucus in the Senate.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

With @SenatorCarper and @SenBooker, I launched the first-ever Environmental Justice Caucus in the Senate because no child should grow up without clean air and safe water.

With a plan like @POTUS's, we’re one step closer to making that a reality.

[Environmental Justice Caucus @EJusticeCaucus]

For too long, disadvantaged communities have borne the brunt of the climate crisis while those in power have looked away. With his executive action, @POTUS is bringing our nation one step closer to achieving true environmental justice for all Americans. https://t.co/MXgYvTb1xc
