Hi all,
Please see below social guidance on an article in The Nation highlighting the Department of the Interior’s recent decision to revoke several key guidances on environmental justice designed to protect vulnerable communities during the permitting
process.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

ICYMI – Earlier this year, the Trump administration rescinded two key policy memos requiring the Department of the Interior to pay special attention to vulnerable communities and Native American tribal resources in the environmental review
process. #ProtectYourVoice
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is often the only way low-income communities and tribal groups are able to weigh in on federal projects impacting their health and livelihoods. Secretary Zinke has aggressively sought to roll
back the NEPA process to make it easier to drill for oil and gas on public lands. #ProtectYourVoice

Since taking office, @SecretaryZinke has worked hard to gut federal environmental reviews for oil and gas development on public lands. Low-income and tribal communities have been particularly hard hit. #ProtectYourVoice
“My people and other tribes will live with the aftermath. The sick animals, the damaged lands, the contaminated water.” (via @thenation) #ProtectYourVoice
