Many low-income families and minorities are more likely to be targetted by the negative effects of climate change, they are commonly neglected when their community may highly suffer. Environmental Racism is also a part of the problem which is racial discrimination in environmental policymaking. In a 1987 report from the Environmental Justice Movement verified a disproportionate amount of these facilities in minority and poor communities, 3 out of every 5 Hispanic and African American lived in places with uncontrollable toxic waste sites. Even less than 40% of Americans have enough savings for environmental evacuations and often must rely on the government. It is unfair to treat these communities as if they are nothing, as a society, it is important that we don't look past those who are more likely to get looked past in an event of climate disasters. If this problem is solved more communities would have cleaner air and water. But also with this petition, we hope to end Environmental Racism which means that we will be holding the government/companies more accountable for any injustice environmental policymaking against race.
