… On Thursday, the VP hit the road along with Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm to discuss the climate crisis at the University of Michigan.
“When I think about the shoulders upon which we stand and where we have arrived,” said Vice President Harris, according to Michigan Live. I think we should all take note of the momentum we have achieved and our responsibility, now sitting in these chairs in this moment, to then continue with this moment and lead, and not waste a minute because we don’t have a minute spare.”
Harris, who is the first Black and first South Asian Vice President, also went deep on the issue of environmental racism.
“You can look at, for example, the data that tells us that some of the regions in America with the poorest air quality are low income communities and communities of color,” said Harris, according to A4 News. “When you look at rates of asthma, you see correlations. When you look at which communities are suffering the most in terms of extreme weather and therefore need to evacuate, you can see a correlation.”
Harris isn’t pulling these concerns about climate change and environmental racism out of thin air.
Funding alone won’t be enough. In her closing statement, Harris urged the audience to continue pushing for change on a community-wide level.
“Help people get excited about all the opportunities this is going to open up in the midst of crisis,” Harris said, according to Michigan Live. “Even if this crisis was not happening, which it is, it’s about a commitment that our nation and the world should always have to innovation and how we can be smarter.”

So, which of these cities is racist?
Los Angeles-Long Beach, California
Bakersfield, California
Visalia, California
Fresno-Madera-Hanford, California
Phoenix-Mesa, Arizona
San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, California
Denver-Aurora, Colorado
Houston-The Woodlands, Texas
Sacramento-Roseville, California
Salt Lake City-Provo-Orem, Utah
Looks like California and they have the most restrictive climate change policies in place. I forgot, is California a Democrat or Republican state?
How do you get real about something which isn’t real?
Just another term made up out of thin air to justify an agenda.
One of many deceitful things liberal democrats are famous for.
Betcha I could find a correlation between rates of asthma in these communities and the ratio of smokers to non-smokers.
I have noticed that I see the most litter laying around on the streets in neighborhoods of color as well.
Does this mean Obama's $20 MILLION in coastal real estate is at risk?
Kamala saying word salad again.
Two of Baraq’s three mansions are on the ocean. I guess the one in DC is his hedge against sea rise, LOL.
Don’t know who’s more dangerous when allowed to speak...POTUS or VPOTUS.
Cue the bongos!
Now, if she were non-binary.......
