[BREAKING] NAACP successfully persuades EPA to investigate racist use of federal funds for Jackson, MS water systems This is a strong first step by the EPA, but we know that environmental racism doesn’t end at Jackson’s city limits. The federal government MUST make Black health and safety a top priority nationwide.  5,000 SIGNATURES NEEDED: Add your name NOW to help us show NAACP supporters OVERWHELMINGLY support federal action to end rampant environmental racism >>   ADD MY NAME >> From Jackson to Flint to Detroit and beyond, the environmental safety of Black communities have been unjustly discarded, ignored, and openly violated. That’s why leaders like NAACP President Derrick Johnson are speaking out:  So our teams are already working furiously to: ✅ Pass the groundbreaking Environmental Justice for All Act ✅ Defend Black communities from disproportionate exposure to toxic emissions ✅ Demand accountability from racist and negligent officials in states that put Black Americans’ water access in danger But to create lasting change and TRUE resource equality, we need the federal government to step up. It’s HIGH TIME our government ends the environmental discrimination that continues to threaten the lives of millions of Black Americans. Will you add your name to join the NAACP’s call and demand federal action to end this deadly discrimination before 11:59 PM? >>   ADD MY NAME >>   Thank you for helping us make change!
