Environmental Justice

We believe that communities should be informed of and have the power to make decisions about environmental policies, projects, and practices that impact their health and daily lives, and have access to workforce training and education for the green jobs of tomorrow. We support legislation that will: 

  1. Move us towards an equitable 100% clean and renewable energy plan. 
  2. Ensure that the state adopts formalizes processes to analyze and address the environmental and public health impacts of policies and projects and provide meaningful opportunities for community accountability. 
  3. Provide targeted support for low-income individuals and people of color to obtain credentials, post-secondary education, or workforce training in environmental, renewable energy, or relate fields. 
  4. Ensure a just transition and utilize the Environmental Protection Agency's definition of environmental justice.

Creemos que las comunidades deben estar informadas y tener el poder de tomar decisiones sobre políticas, proyectos y prácticas ambientales que afecten su salud y sus vidas cotidianas y tener acceso a la capacitación y educación de la fuerza laboral para los empleos verdes del mañana. Apoyamos una legislación que:

  1. Avanzará hacia energías 100% no contaminantes y renovables equitativas.
  2. Asegurará que el estado adopte procesos formalizados para analizar y abordar los impactos ambientales y de salud pública de las políticas y proyectos y brindar oportunidades significativas para la participación y aportación de la comunidad.
  3. Brindará apoyo específico para personas de bajos ingresos y personas de color para obtener credenciales, educación postsecundaria o capacitación de la fuerza laboral en el medio ambiente, las energías renovables o campos relacionados.
  4. Asegurará una transición justa y utilizará la definición de justicia ambiental de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental.
