** Greetings,
------------------------------------------------------------
President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that every person has a right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and live in a healthy community – now and into the future. During his first week in office, President Biden launched the most ambitious environmental justice agenda in our nation’s history. To continue delivering on that vision, today the President will sign an executive order further embedding environmental justice into the work of federal agencies to achieve real, measurable progress that communities can count on.
Tune in to see President Biden deliver remarks on Building Healthy Communities and Advancing Environmental Justice today at 2:15 pm ET here: [link removed] ([link removed])
