Environmental Justice Under Attack: The Trump Administration’s Assault on Equity

The Trump administration is launching a direct assault on environmental justice (EJ) efforts within the federal government. This includes the removal of public data and information, placing staff on administrative leave, and cutting programs that support communities impacted by environmental injustices. The administration’s actions are disregarding the lived experiences of marginalized communities, particularly low-income and communities of color, by ignoring their voices and needs.

Environmental justice, as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race, or disability, in decisions affecting human health and the environment. Decades of evidence and scientific research confirm the existence of environmental injustices and health disparities that disproportionately affect underserved communities. It is crucial to acknowledge and address these disparities to ensure access to clean water, air, and land for all individuals.

The Trump administration’s executive orders have targeted environmental justice work within federal agencies, leading to the removal of staff and the termination of programs that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. By dismantling these programs, the administration is disregarding the disproportionate impacts on historically marginalized communities and undermining efforts to address environmental injustices.

Additionally, the administration has rescinded past executive orders, such as EO 12898, which aimed to address environmental justice in minority and low-income populations. These actions nullify progress made in ensuring fair access to government decision-making for underrepresented communities and addressing inequalities in environmental policies and programs.

Furthermore, the administration’s freeze on grant funding, censorship of DEIA-related research, and erasure of environmental justice data and information from federal websites have further exacerbated the challenges faced by communities impacted by environmental injustices. These actions hinder the government’s ability to understand and address environmental disparities, putting the health and well-being of vulnerable communities at risk.

In response to these attacks on environmental justice, individuals can take action by supporting local EJ organizations, engaging with state legislative efforts, and advocating for holistic environmental protection in their communities. By standing in solidarity with EJ advocates and holding the government accountable for its actions, we can work towards a future where all individuals have access to a clean and healthy environment.

It is essential to document and counter these attacks on environmental justice and support efforts to protect marginalized communities from environmental harms. By staying informed, engaging with local organizations, and advocating for equitable environmental policies, we can work towards a more just and sustainable future for all.
