Hi John,
What you need to know: Congress has just funded a new program under the
Inflation Reduction Act that will set aside $3 billion in climate funding
for our most at-risk communities. Now, the Environmental Protection Agency
is accepting comments on the best way they can equitably allocate these
funds. That's where you come in.
[ [link removed]- ]Add Your VoiceWhy it matters: The initiative — known as the
Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program (ECJ Program) — was
created by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the largest climate bill
in history. To make sure communities in need don’t miss out on getting
these grants, Dream.Org is asking you to join us in recommending that the
EPA:
* Increase outreach to spread awareness: connecting more communities
with grant applications through effective outreach and assistance will
broaden the impact of climate and energy investments.
* Streamline the grant application process: creating an application
process with manageable timelines and structures will ensure the
largest number of communities can apply.
* Define the benefits: key metrics such as air pollution, asthma rates,
and workforce development must be measured throughout the duration of
the projects.
What you can do: It is crucial that we all take action. One way to do that
is by [ [link removed]- ]signing our petition to join us in telling the EPA to take
measures so climate benefits reach communities most impacted by poverty
and pollution.
