Support the HEAL Act, SB 5141
Our moment to stand up for environmental justice is here! The Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act (SB 5141) passed out of the House Appropriations Committee this week with the support of hundreds of advocates. We are on the right track to get this to Governor Inslee's desk but we still need your support to get HEAL voted off the floor of the House of Representatives while ensuring that the HEAL Act remains strong.
As the Environmental Health Disparities Map illustrates, not all communities are impacted by pollution the same, and communities most impacted have higher percentages of people of color and those with lower incomes. The HEAL Act would address this unfairness by aiming to create the same high standard of environmental health quality in every community.
Take action today and contact your representative and urge them to vote YES! on Senate Bill 5141 and ensure to keep the key elements of the bill.
Help us make the case for environmental justice planning in Washington State that will help address existing health disparities and ensure that our communities get the much-needed investment toward a greener and fairer economy.
Thank you for your action and support!
