Community Right-to-Know

The Climate Justice Working Group and a collaboration between WEI and EJAM was formed early in 2007 to create a space for people of color and low income communities to engage, network and be empowered for self-advocacy around climate change impacts and solutions that affect their communities.

WEI is working to change public policy in a number of ways. In 2007 we are working with the Minnesota Environmental Partnership, to support legislation which will strengthen Minnesota's Community Right to Know Act and increase its enforcement. and will also continue to support "environmental justice mapping" efforts. This project includes two projects:  state funding for environmental justice mapping and  strengthening and better enforcement of community right to know laws.
