Hidden in the fine print of the dirty debt ceiling deal we talked so much about last month was the latest version of an old injustice: While President Biden, Joe Manchin, and the fossil fuel fascists in the US house negotiated to cut spending on poor people and domestic programs like staffing at the EPA, …
We’ve told you before about the newly re-named and re-introduced A. Donald McEachin Environmental Justice For All Act. The bill was reintroduced in late March by Rep. Grijalva, Rep. Barbara Lee, and Senators Tammy Duckworth and Cory Booker. And it is still the gold standard for how to guarantee every American’s right to clean air, …
