Following up on the #Justice40, the #CEJST data provided the specific data markers that identified census tracts as disadvantaged. In the below post, I looked at West Pullman - the home to Pullman Palace Car Company.

Guidance for tracking local impacts of the federal Justice40 cuts Trump's elimination of Justice40 and other environmental justice programs will lead to increased pollution, reduced protections and more.

In Jan., one of the most ambitious efforts to embed #environmentaljustice in federal policy was ended. The #Justice40 Initiative distributed more than $600B across 500 programs in 19 federal agencies. Here's how to find the local impacts. 🧪🌎

“The values of Justice40 were fairness, equity, and respect—the heart of environmental justice,” said Rep. Sykes.

Even with its rollback, these values endure. Justice isn't a moment. It's a commitment.

With Justice40 being one of our core goals, we remain enraged by its rollback and the inefficiencies it revealed.

Rep. Sykes put it plainly:
“Funding is often spread like peanut butter. But is this method efficient?”

The #Justice40 Initiative establishes a goal that 40% of the benefits of climate and clean energy investments flow to disadvantaged communities, which for too long, have faced disinvestment and underinvestment.

Investment categories covered by J40 include...

"Today, the Committee held a hearing on the #Justice40 Initiative, a Biden admin environmental justice program that Trump eliminated on Jan 20. Committee Republicans remain focused on programs that don't exist anymore instead of the Trump-induced collapse of American science."

#Biden's tenure is historic from 235 judges (most since ‘80s) to commuting 2500 sentences for nonviolent drug offenses. He signed the #EmmettTillAct, passed the #RespectForMarriageAct, launched #Justice40, commuted #DeathRow sentences, and pardoned #LGBTQ+ veterans. See some 👀 stats below 🧵👇

1⃣ Dismantling or sidelining programs like #Justice40 to provide clean energy, and climate resilience toward disadvantaged areas or @EPA grants to improve air quality, water safety, and community health, replaced by negationist policy proposals such as those in Project 2025

Agree these could be complementary. As one example, I think the principle of #Justice40 might manage the polycentric tension better if the broader scale was municipal instead of census tract, and focused more on restorative/unverinvestment instead of aggregated/biased env & other burden metrics

I think there are still good reasons to use the #Justice40 initiative (e.g., restorative justice and redressing chronic underinvestment at community scales).

These aren't contradictory. Justice40 could complement the use of a "risk burden" metric.

Under Trump, environmental projects in low-income places are unlikely to get funded - The Boston Globe Environmental justice nonprofits could be in financial jeopardy if grants don’t come through under Trump.

Lots of big questions for the energy transition under Trump, but one of ours was: What about #Justice40?

Biden's policy to prioritize #environmentaljustice for federal climate funds was a big shift.

Now, #EJ advocates are worried they'll lose $ and momentum.

it's tough because the lot is surrounded by asphalt, concrete, strip mall areas- roads. there's a superfund site in my tract too. I keep looking to see if #justice40 has any habitat-restoring or growing native plant funding I can tap into, but it's frustrating to find it as just a regular person.
