Climate change is causing more severe impacts on low income, communities of color and Indigenous peoples. Extreme weather events (Super Storm Sandy, Hurricane Katrina, droughts and wildfires) increase the vulnerability of people living in climate vulnerable areas as well as those who already deal with bad air, unsafe housing, and lack adequate resources to plan, prepare and recover. Resiliency should not only be for the wealthiest communities in our great nation. The members of the Environmental Justice Leadership Forum on Climate Change call on the President to “CLOSE THE GAP” and make environmental justice a key part of the Climate Action Plan. Our request is simple: provide a formal response to our statement on our website (www.ejleadershipforum.org), and amend the current plan.
