JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Mississippi announced Friday that it has designated a federal attorney to focus on environmental justice and public health.

U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner said that Assistant U.S. Attorney Rob Coleman will serve as the office’s environmental justice coordinator. Joyner said the move is part of a “new initiative to address environmental justice and public health concerns in the Northern District of Mississippi.”

“Strong and fair enforcement of environmental and public health laws protects our precious natural resources and ensures a healthy environment for everyone to live, learn, play, and work,” Joyner said in a news release. “Your reporting of environmental and public health concerns supports environmental protection, environmental justice, and helps us protect the community from harmful violations of federal health and safety laws.”

The office said its efforts are part of a broader U.S. Department of Justice environmental justice plan aimed at remedying environmental violations committed against “underserved communities that have been historically marginalized and overburdened, including low-income communities, communities of color, and Tribal and Indigenous communities.”

Does “environmental justice” require rounding up conservatives and placing them in concentration camps?

But we have worked so hard to make sure that all environmental issues only affect women and minorities...The last thing we need are these jokers laying all of our plans to waste

“Environmental justice”, like all forms of social justice, is really redistribution, i.e. theft.

Do these duties include stopping corrupt city officials from failing to provide running water to citizens in Jackson?

I may have to read it again just to be sure.🐸

I’m sure there’s a liberal on this site that can help. Please excuse my ignorance but can someone please explain exactly what Environmental Justice is and how it helps anyone? And while you’re at it, place also explain what Social Justice is and you don’t need to emphasize nor explain government handout programs. It’s common knowledge the social / ethnic equity in any of those programs are rigged.

Cool.
I’m currently working in in Robinsonville just north of Tunica. Your right farmland as far as the eye can see. Mississippi like all states I’ve lived has it charm. Damn Hot also! ☀️🔥
