“Climate is a civil rights issue as well as a health, economic, and environmental issue. Low income communities and communities of color disproportionately live in the areas most heavily burdened for pollution and vulnerability, and have the worst access to green space. A successful climate movement will address the rights of communities of color and low income communities directly. We strongly support the Senate’s groundbreaking climate package and agree that we can grow the economy and protect human health and the environment at the same time. California is providing best practice examples to address climate change.”
