We must ensure environmental justice is central to our efforts to address the climate crisis. This critical investment will do exactly that, helping us make important strides toward our climate goals by tackling pollution in marginalized communities.
Today, we’re announcing $550 million in grant funding to advance environmental justice. EPA's new "EJ Thriving Communities Grantmaking" program will streamline the grant application process, ensuring funding will reach underserved and overburdened communities faster.

.@FoodLifeline has made a huge difference for the people of Western WA by serving 1M+ people facing hunger. It was great to see it in action this week and hear how they're putting the federal funding I secured to use to build a new Community Food Hub in South Seattle.
