Title
White House Takes Aim at Environmental Racism, but Won’t Mention Race
Description
In his campaign, President Joe Biden aimed to eliminate the racial injustices that come alongside climate change. However, the administration’s newest climate strategy does not acknowledge racial minorities. Instead, aid will be sent to neighborhoods in need solely based on income, unemployment rates, and air quality. Many Americans are upset at the nature of this strategy, as it does not acknowledge those who are statistically disproportionately affected by climate change.
