WARRENTON, N.C. (AP) — President Joe Biden’s top environment official visited what is widely considered the birthplace of the environmental justice movement Saturday to unveil a national office that will distribute $3 billion in block grants to underserved communities burdened by pollution.
Forty years after a predominantly Black community in Warren County, North Carolina, rallied against hosting a hazardous waste landfill, Michael Regan, the first Black administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, announced he is dedicating a new senior level of leadership to the environmental justice movement they ignited.
The Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights — comprised of more than 200 current staff members in 10 U.S. regions — will merge three existing EPA programs to oversee a portion of Democrats’ $60 billion investment in environmental justice initiatives created by the Inflation Reduction Act. The president will nominate an assistant administrator to lead the new office, pending Senate confirmation.
Biden has championed environmental justice as a centerpiece of his climate agenda since his first week in office, when he signed an executive order pledging 40% of the overall benefits from certain federal clean energy investments to disadvantaged communities overwhelmed by pollution.
Now, Regan said, this new office intertwines environmental justice with the central fabric of the EPA, equating it to other top offices like air and water, and cementing its principles in a way that will outlive the administration.

Sounds like a big piece the 1.1 trillion dollar walking around money Congress voted to throw away green energy schemes will be parceled over to their favorite voting block for them to share in the corruptive spending. A bunch of black Solyndras so blacks can share in the corruption.
The Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights????
Yet ANOTHER unconstitutional federal agency to take away MORE of your freedom and MORE of your money.
When will the Patriotic Right stand up and take these unconstitutional acts and agencies to Court to have them negated and abolished as unconstitutional???
The House controls the purse strings.
A GOP controlled Congress should refuse to fund this crap.
See "environmental racism," a term that originated decades ago.
disadvantaged communities that are racked by severe crime that they caused
The Bolsheviks are on the march while we set about and whine...
Justice.? If we’re hoping for justice nowadays we’re going to need a lot more then a lawyer and ballpoint pen to get it..
Is Brandon channeling his, ‘Inner Nixon’ (EPA) these days? Ugh!
Make it stop! All of it! Make. It. Stop.
It will redistribute walking around money to those communities. Another way to buy votes.
Another way for Democrats to seize power and transfer wealth to their friends.
Was the assault by talking, walking trees on Saruman’s white tower in Lord of the Rings Volume 2, an act of environmental justice, or injustice? Did Saruman’s tower have the right to counsel, a right to confront its accusers, or even a right to fight back? No. The trees just marched in and started smashing it. It was an arboreal lynch mob. Sure, you’ll argue. Saruman was up to no good. But is that the tower’s fault? It just sits around and has to let wizards do stuff inside it, without so much as a by-your-leave.
