John – Rep. Rashida Tlaib just introduced the revolutionary Cumulative Impacts Act , an environmental justice bill aimed at protecting communities systemically harmed by environmental racism.

Corporate polluters have a long and shameful history of building polluting facilities and dumping hazardous waste in historically Black, brown, Indigenous and low-income communities. The cumulative impact affects generations of people with dirty air and undrinkable water leading to long-term health consequences – and ultimately a shorter lifespan.

Rashida’s new bill aims to change that by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to analyze cumulative impacts before making decisions to approve permits, and to deny any permit where the applicant is unable to demonstrate a reasonable certainty no harm will come to the community or vulnerable groups.
We need to keep Rashida in Congress to continue leading this fight. Will you split a contribution between Brand New Congress and Rashida’s re-election campaign now? [[link removed]]

Rashida has always been a fierce advocate for climate justice. Prior to serving in Congress, as a Michigan State Representative Rashida led the fight against big polluters like Koch Industries and Marathon Oil, forcing them to remove toxic pollutants from Detroit’s riverfront.

It is time we stop putting profits over the lives of people. We need fighters like Rashida in Congress to hold corporate polluters accountable and end the poisoning of Black and brown communities.
Rashida is up for re-election in less than two weeks. Pitch in now to help her across the finish line so we can keep her in Congress fighting for all of us. [[link removed]]
In solidarity,
Brand New Congress

Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal and electing bold progressive fighters. We recruited and elected AOC in 2018 and Cori Bush in 2020. With seven BNC Reps currently in office [[link removed]] , we are growing progressive power in Congress.
This November we’re working to flip multiple red seats, fill open seats with bold progressives, and elect our first BNC Senator by defeating Rand Paul.
Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
