Hi all,
Please see below social guidance continuing to spotlight last week’s executive order seeking to circumvent public input and environmental review for federal projects under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Black & brown communities are disproportionately exposed to pollution on the job and in their homes. Shortcutting environmental reviews for projects like pipelines and power plants is a direct attack on their health and livelihoods. #ProtectYourVoice
“It shows again that they have no respect for the lives in these communities that are already overburdened. Trump’s actions put a spotlight on black lives don’t matter.” -@EJinAction #ProtectYourVoice
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is the ONLY law that gives communities a chance to weigh in on important federal projects happening in their back yards.

NEP is a critical tool for civic engagement we cannot afford to lose. #ProtectYourVoice

It’s a statistical fact black and brown communities are disproportionately exposed to pollution and toxins on the job, at school, and in their homes. Shortcutting environmental reviews for projects like pipelines and power plants is a direct

For many of those communities NEPA isn’t just an environmental protection statute – it’s a critical tool for civic engagement they cannot afford to lose. #ProtectYourVoice
