Summary

Environmental Justice grants are intended to help protect people from disproportionate exposure to industrial pollutants.

Environmental justice grants were awarded to groups in rural and urban communities throughout the U.S. Environmental Justice Program was funded with $3 billion from the Environmental and Climate Justice block program.

Air Alliance Houston was awarded a $3.1-million grant to expand a program it created to bring more transparency to the Texas state environmental permitting process.

A class action lawsuit would make it possible for Air Alliance Houston and smaller nonprofits to win broad relief, rather than piecemeal outcomes.

By bringing the class action case, the hope is to provide relief to the full class of eligible recipients.

The Trump administration has not prevailed in any of the environmental lawsuits filed.
