President Joseph R. Biden delivered a spark of hope in the early days of his presidency when he signed an executive order promising a government-wide approach to the disproportionate pollution burdens placed on the poor and communities of color.
The Pennsylvania Council of Churches, along with partner faith and environmental organizations, are encouraged by the president’s nod toward environmental justice. His order promises to reshape how the federal government works across its many agencies, acknowledging the intersection of policies and issues across communities, regions, and populations that necessitates an integration of efforts across the board. We hope it delivers.
