Great news, John —
Senator Ed Markey and Cori's bill, the Environmental Justice Mapping and
Data Collection Act, passed the House on Friday as part of the Inflation
Reduction Act.

While there's more work to do, the Inflation Reduction Act is the biggest
climate bill we've passed to date, and Cori's bill will help target
funding directly to the communities most affected by environmental
injustice.

Thanks to Cori's commitment to ensuring racial justice and environmental
justice go hand in hand, the Inflation Reduction Act will fund and create
an interagency committee to develop detailed neighborhood maps of
environmental risk factors including air quality, fossil fuel
infrastructure, and police violence. This data will help ensure St. Louis
and communities like it receive the climate investment they need.

passed, but we must continue our work for a clean and just future. If
you're with Cori in this movement, will you chip in $5 or
more immediately to help power Cori's legislating and organizing efforts
to deliver needed action on climate change?

In St. Louis, there are clear signs of how people, especially Black and
brown people, are hurting because of a lack of local funding and
government support for climate action and environmental protection. Our
children are making more and more trips to the emergency room for asthma
attacks and extreme temperatures are driving up electric bills.

This is a crisis of great magnitude, and we can't wait any longer for
empty legislation: We need bold solutions. That's why Cori has been a bold
advocate for the Environmental Justice Mapping and Data Collection Act, a
Green New Deal, and a Green New Deal for Cities — a policy that would
enable community-based environmental policies.

[ [link removed] ]John, Cori won't stop
working to pass the bold and ambitious legislation we need to address the
climate crisis, but she needs our support. Will you chip in any amount now
to help Cori keep organizing to take our fight against the climate crisis
to the next level?

Together,

Team Cori
