–

A few hours after this week, President Donald Trump, “Areas and signed a litigation to end the extreme, wasted government DEI programs and preferences,” was presented and signed in the elliptical office Resolute Desk. I did.

The federal employees who supervise diversity, fairness, and comprehensive initiatives are all discriminatory, delegation, delegation, and policy of “diversity, fairness, inclusion, accessibility” (DEIA). He was ordered to adjust the end of the program, so he was paid for his paid vacation. , What kind of name is the program, preferences, and activities of the federal government? ”

Iron Mask, an advisor to Trump’s billionaire Dei Initiative was Rided as “racism” The opposition says that they take opportunities from white Americans.

However, Trump’s order on Monday aimed for “Environmental Justice”. We eliminated positions, including those for poor rural communities, and evaluated their spending on the project.

Approved by the Federal Emergency Management Bureau and the subsidies under consideration indicate a project from Alaska to Florida. They are as follows:

Many of the plans were supported by Former President Joe Biden by 40 Initiatives. As a result, 40 % of the federal spending on climate and clean energy programs was flowing in a blessed community. Through the Inflation Reduction method of Biden and the ultra -pulsed infrastructure method, the billions of dollars are paid to the electric school bus to bring sunlight on the tribal land and replace gas -driven vehicles, and pollution burns. We provided funds to local groups to clean the community.

The dangers of these projects under the new administration were “unexpected.” Jalonne White-NewSome, a former former Federation of Council, who was created under the Biden administration, Jalonne White-NewSome.

“The cancellation of some administrative orders in the past few days indicates that the (Trump) administration is worth it, and it’s definitely not an American,” White News told CNN. Ta.

Before the new administration took office, the federal agency said, “I did a wonderful job to get as much money as possible.” The funds and resources received by the community already invested in investment, pollution, and environmental misalignment are now safe, but the funds that require approval are “within the scope.”

Environmental misconduct is a label used to explain the imbalanced harms facing low -income communities and colored communities from both the cause of climate change (fossil fuel contamination) and the impact (extreme weather). is.

Many of these are systematic racist products.

a 2019 surveyFor example, the red lining, which is approved by the government that separates color communities that began in the 1930s, is a powerful indicator that shows which area is the most suffering of extreme heat. I did. White Neighbor Hood historically, has received more community investments to maintain a green area that helps cool the area, but the black neighborhood has been rejected the same resources and narrowed down next to the pollution industrial infrastructure. Ta.

Robert Blad, a pioneer of environmental justice, appointed the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Committee during the Biden administration in 2021, was confused by positive actions and workplace efforts with environmental justice. He said he should not be done.

“Environmental justice is not a positive action. It does not have the right to breathe clean air or drink clean water, but does not have the right to fully enforce the environmental law. The climate of the University of Texas Southern was told to CNN.

“It’s a basic constitution right that the president or parliament cannot take away,” he pointed out.

The scientists were clear. The impact of the climate crisis against the vulnerable and alienated community is unbalanced. Blessed communities are often located in vulnerable areas, increasing the risk of heat wave, floods, drought, and storms. In coastal communities such as Louisiana and Florida, the rise in the sea level, especially for low -income communities, amplifies the risk of moving and livelihood loss.

“By setting up an administrative order that could not be dealt with these issues, they are virtually a national policy of systematic racism,” he was a former co -chair of the White House Environmental Advisory Committee. He told CNN that he acted for the co -founder and executive director of Peggy Shepherd Environment.

Samantha Montano, a disaster researcher at Massachusetts State Academy, said that “FEMA adopts an approach to integrate fairness into all programs and tries to achieve various levels of success” The Community Bureau of the Administration Bureau said that it could be a simple target.

Equity was the biggest goal FEMA’s current strategic planWe recognize that each person has a different situation, and distribute resources and opportunities to reach the most fair results accordingly. This includes colored races, UN, but also veterans, low -income earners, less races, rural communities, etc.

“We have to weaken and fight back,” said Shepard. “Obviously, they are working to eliminate many of these policies and programs that support this systematic racism as the basis of the administration and support a safe and clean environment. I will bring.

The Brad, an advisor to the Biden administration, has most of the government’s initiative and projects that focus on fairness, “Designed to make the incomplete system more perfect, not discriminating by anyone. , Give the denied people opportunities. ”

Equity is deeply established in all the government approaches in Biden, collecting investments to alleviate future floods, wildfires, and hurricane disaster costs, and warms planets from community fossil fuels that have not received service. Reduced a clean energy project to reduce.

However, the blading stated that money would not be the so -called “day” community of the Democratic Party or colored races. A CNN analysis of data from the non -party Rosium Group and Massachusetts Institute of Technology revealed that most of the $ 34.6 billion (nearly 78 %) of the announced investment was sent to the Republican Council.

“If the (infrastructure method) was part of the DEI program, the way they define it would not even get money,” said the blad.

“We want to enter a place that is not a fortress of environmental justice and climate movement, in a project to Kentucky, West Virginia, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansaw. I want the fact that American cities and counties are available, and the local government and rural areas are needed.

“We are going to achieve all Americans to protect from pollution, receive high -quality education, and have the right to have access to health care.”
