EcoMadres Lauds Biden’s Breakthrough Climate and Environmental Justice Actions: The president’s actions move Latino communities toward a healthier, more stable future

Press Statement January 27, 2021

Contact: Sasha Tenenbaum, stenenbaum@momscleanairforce.org, 917-887-0146

Las Vegas, NV – Today, President Biden signed executive orders and presidential memorandums focused on environmental justice and climate change. These actions demonstrate the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to ambitious action to address the climate emergency and end racial injustice while rebuilding the economy in a safe and equitable manner.

In response to these actions, Cinthia Zermeño Moore, Nevada field organizer for Moms Clean Air Force and EcoMadres co-lead, issued the following statement:

“Today, the cause of environmental justice made a great stride forward. With its climate-focused executive actions announced today, the Biden-Harris administration is making a down payment on its promise to address harmful pollution with climate safety, job creation, and equity at its core. These executive actions will help ensure Latino communities, like the one I live in, are healthier communities—but they alone are not enough. Much more work remains to ensure that environmental justice is integrated into every meaningful governmental reform. Let’s work together toward a future with environmental justice for all!”

“La causa de la justicia ambiental ha dado un gran paso hacia adelante. Con las acciones ejecutivas anunciadas ayer enfocadas en el clima, la administración Biden-Harris está demostrando que pretende cumplir su promesa de enfrentar la contaminación dañina con un cimiento de seguridad climática, creación de empleos y equidad. Estas acciones ejecutivas ayudarán a asegurarse de que las comunidades latinas —como en la que yo vivo— sean comunidades más saludables. Sin embargo, estas medidas por sí solas no son suficientes. Todavía falta mucho más trabajo para asegurarse de que la justicia ambiental se integre a cada reforma significativa del gobierno. ¡Trabajemos juntos hacia un futuro que sea de justicia ambiental para todos!”
