[Oregon_EPHT_News] FW: Significant Environmental Justice Announcement

Thu Oct 27 12:29:13 PDT 2016

Dear Partner for Environmental Justice,

I am excited to announce that today EPA released the EJ 2020 Action Agenda! This is the culmination of almost two years of public engagement, hard work, and planning and I am very proud to share with you the final version of the strategy. I am confident this reflects a significant step forward for EPA and communities, and working together with partners like yourself, we will continue to advance environmental justice within EPA and throughout the country.

I am hoping you can help us get the word out about the release of the plan, as the more people who are aware and engaged, the more we can gain momentum and build on the foundation that EJ 2020 is laying.
