Dear John, As we look back at the past year and usher in 2023, we celebrate CJA’s members and all environmental justice communities and allies who are on the frontlines, fighting the bad and building the new. Most recently, our movement not once, or twice, but three times beat back attacks to strip our
communities of their most basic rights to protect their families and neighborhoods from toxic and polluting industries by defeating Senator Manchin’s dirty deal. This was an environmental justice victory! Thanks to their tireless organizing, coordinated actions with allies, and round the clock work with legislators, we were able to stop the dirty side deal that would have gutted bedrock protections under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which ensures a pathway for community input and recourse against dirty industry. Read our most recent statement to learn more and hear what frontline communities are saying. As we celebrate the new year we applaud CJA members and all those who organized throughout the year to oppose Senator Manchin’s dirty deal. Thank you! |
