We're thrilled to share the EPA has issued preliminary findings siding with our complaint to bring environmental justice to low-income and minority neighborhoods. The decision will help ensure citizens have adequate access to the agency responsible for monitoring and permitting air pollution in their neighborhoods. The decision to file the complaint came after years of trying to work directly with MDNR to bring them into compliance with Title VI non-discrimination laws.

EXCITING NEWS! The EPA has found merit in our civil rights complaint that the Missouri Department of Natural Resources is failing to comply with federal nondiscrimination laws meant to ensure meaningful access for all people to the department's services, programs and activities. It's an encouraging development in our work to protect and help Missouri communities to push back against pollution in their neighborhoods.
