Clean Energy for Biden event on Environmental Justice

Please join Clean Energy for Biden with Representative Raúl Grijalva and Ms. Tamara Toles O’Laughlin, moderated by Ms. Christy Goldfuss, for a discussion on environmental justice. Speakers will discuss what Vice President Joe Biden can do to support this important issue when he takes office, both by working on the ground with environmental justice communities and leaders, and with Congress. Joe Biden has demonstrated his commitment to this topic in his recently unveiled $2 trillion Build Back Better plan and this discussion will focus on what all of us can do to execute on this mission if he’s elected.

As a leading Congressional voice on environmental justice, Representative Grijalva has championed the Environmental Justice for All Act and has held several hearings on this topic through his role as Chair of the House Natural Resources Committee. Ms. Tamara Toles O’Laughlin is the North America Director of 350 Action and has long been a tireless advocate and leader for environmental justice policies, communities, and programs through her work in the state of Maryland and Washington D.C. Ms. Christy Goldfuss is the Vice President for Energy and Environment Policy at the Center for American Progress and led the White House Council on Environmental Quality under President Obama.
