The Biden Administration has pledged to make environmental justice a priority. However, across the country, the low-income and Black, Hispanic and indigenous communities that are disproportionately impacted by pollution have been waiting decades for action.

In this video, we hear from University of New Mexico law professor Cliff Villa, and Bloomberg Law environment reporter Dean Scott about the fight for environmental justice.
