EPA’s environment justice grants under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) were developed according to high standards and in strict adherence with federal laws, policies, and regulations. The programs were designed to be transparent, accountable, and impactful. They're being targeted by EPA and DOGE.

I ran the US Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice program for almost 11 years. It’s not what this presidential administration says it is.

EJ at EPA is still being shredded. Small unknown numbers of staff being called back for unknown reasons is not a resumption of the EJ program. Recipients of EJ grants are being bullied and their awards ripped from their hands. insideclimatenews.org/news/1003202...
