Elizabeth Warren has teamed up with Rashida Tlaib to make a video decrying ‘environmental racism’
“A more recent study found that while whites largely cause air pollution, Blacks and Latinxs are more likely to breathe it in. Unsurprisingly, these groups also experience higher rates of childhood asthma. And many more low-income and minority communities are exposed to toxins in their water – including lead and chemicals from industrial and agricultural run-off.”
We need a government that’s on the side of families—not giant corporations polluting our communities. @RashidaTlaib and I walked through 48217, the most polluted zip code in Michigan, and talked with the families living every day with the effects of pollution. pic.twitter.com/LsXlZQza7r

Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Wednesday unveiled her plan to address “environmental injustice” and “environmental racism,” which includes a $1 trillion investment into minority communities affected by “industrial pollution.”
Warren argues that “justice” plays a massive role in properly addressing the climate change “crisis,” citing studies that suggest that black and Hispanic families are disproportionately affected by air pollution caused by white people.
Warren calls this phenomenon “environmental racism” and concludes that “environmental injustice is the result of decades of discrimination and environmental racism compounding in communities that have been overlooked for too long.”
She previewed her plan in a video clip featuring far-left “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). More
This woman has truly lost her mind. Everything bad is due to white people. Everything bad only impacts people of color. I am so sick of being told that everything is my fault. Perhaps Warren should tackle “cultural appropriation” because she has plenty of experience with that.
Industrial pollution has been concentrated in communities of color due to decades of discrimination and racism—and a system that puts corporate profits before people. We need big, structural change, focused on and led by members of those communities.

As we work to enact the #GreenNewDeal, I’ll make sure that frontline community leaders who know best what their neighborhoods need are elevated in my White House and lead the way toward the big, structural change we need. They’ve been doing this work for decades—we should listen.

But we must ensure that we honor our commitments to fossil fuel workers as we transition to the new green economy. We’ll ensure that new jobs have similar wages and benefits. And I’ll fight to protect the pensions and benefits that they’ve earned.
