US justice department sues two companies over pollution in Louisiana’s ‘Cancer Alley’
GuardianAPR 2023
The Biden administration has again gone to bat for a vulnerable community of color that has too often been neglected and subjected to unsafe living conditions. Of course, the only site in the US that emits this compound is located in a predominately Black area. The president is taking a stand against environmental racism.
Not everything has to be about identity politics. If the EPA has a case, it’s not because the majority of people affected are Black, but because they’re Americans. Hopefully, the administration is looking out for the health and well-being of everyone in the US, regardless of race.
