On Monday, October 30, Michigan climate justice leaders issued a clear message to the Biden administration: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must swiftly finalize the strongest possible climate standards to slash dangerous soot, carbon, methane, and tailpipe pollution, as well as do more to address the heavy pollution burden and lack of funding faced by frontline BIPOC communities.
Held in Detroit, speakers included Rhonda Anderson (lifelong community activist and former Sierra Club staffer), Dr. Dolores Leonard (retired professor and community activist), Darren Riley (CEO and Co-Founder of Just Air), Ember McCoy (Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability), and Natalie Baxter (Co-Director of White Coats for Planetary Health).
Read more about the event and the activism being done to get strong clean air standards enacted.
Take action today
and tell the Biden Administration it's time for Strong Solutions for Pollution!
