The Environmental Justice Act (House Bill 2913/ Senate Bill 426)
Details below are from Mothers Out Front:
Join us in calling key lawmakers to urge passage of the Environmental Justice Act and funding for staff positions to enforce it.California, Oregon and other states have legislated Environmental Protections and we need to do the same! This Act would codify Executive Order 552, issued under Governor Deval Patrick, and begin statewide planning around environmental Justice.
We don’t need to be experts to let our lawmakers know this is important to us. Urge them to support The Environmental Justice Act (House Bill 2913/ Senate Bill 426) and funding for staff enforcement.
