Biden's Environmental Justice Prioritization and Aggressive Pollution Rules.

President Joe Biden is set to sign an executive order prioritizing "environmental justice" as the mission of federal agencies. The order aims to ensure that poverty, race, and ethnic status do not lead to worse exposure to pollution and environmental harm. It establishes the White House Office of Environmental Justice and requires executive agencies to inform nearby communities if toxic substances were released from a federal facility. The EPA formed its own Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights last year to oversee a portion of Democrats' $60 billion investment in environmental justice initiatives.
