No flashy announcement. Tough leader. Shrewd negotiator. Big heart.

That’s Xavier Becerra.

Great conversation with Catherine Coleman Flowers today with @climateone.org

Got my signed copy of Catherine’s new book Holy Ground - On Activism, Environmental Justice, and Finding Hope.

Cool to civil rights/EJ work at HHS highlighted in fight for basic sanitation services.

Back in 2018, CA Attorney General Xavier Becerra tapped me to establish a force of attorneys would back up and protect environmental justice communities.

@jmijin.bsky.social captures one of the first battles the EJ Bureau took up alongside @leadershipcounsel.bsky.social in Fresno.

Mayor Gurrola was taking heat from all over. Then CA Attorney General Xavier Becerra chipped in to flank the community with this letter…taking preemption arguments off the table. www.oag.ca.gov/system/files...

Really appreciate @jmijin.bsky.social lifting up the City of Arvin’s fight for a new oil well setback ordinance in new book “A Just Transition For All”. Truly sparked a statewide movement.

The team at CDC just pushed out an update that adds a climate module and some very cool county/census tract reports.

When I was at HHS I worked with CDC to develop the Environmental Justice Index (EJI). It’s the first national, place-based tool designed to measure the cumulative impacts of environmental burden through the lens of human health and health equity.
