  • 2019 Environmental Justice Scorecard
    Environmental Justice SCORECARD2019 The California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) is proud to release our seventh Environmental Justice Scorecard for the 2019 legislative session. This scorecard is the only one in the state that assesses how well California’s elected officials have supported actions to address environmental issues that particularly impact low-income communities and communities of color. About the California Environmental Justice Alliance CEJA is a statewide, community-led alliance that works to achieve environmental justice by advancing policy solutions. We unite the powerful local organizing of our members in the communities most impacted by environmental hazards — low-income communities and communities of color — to create comprehensive opportunities for change at a statewide level. We build the power of communities across California to create policies that will alleviate poverty and pollution. Together, we are growing the statewide movement for environmental health and social justice. California Justice Alliance Environmental 2 Principles of Environmental Justice Champions One purpose of this Scorecard is to identify environmental justice champions: legislators who are proactive and meaningful partners for CEJA and our members, and are using their political capital to advance environmental justice priorities. Below are several principles that accurately embody the characteristics and actions of environmental justice champions: Prioritize and value prevention, human Take an intersectional approach: health, and improved quality of life: Human Environmental justice communities are health and well-being must be given full systematically disinvested in economically weight in decisions, and not overlooked and impacted by patriarchy, racism, and in favor of business interest or “cost- state violence.

  • The Honorable Eduardo Garcia, Chair the Honorable Megan Dahle, Vice
    The Honorable Eduardo Garcia, Chair The Honorable Megan Dahle, Vice Chair Committee on Water, Parks and Wildlife Legislative Office Building 1020 N Street, Room 160 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: AJR 5 SUPPORT Dear Chair Garcia, Vice-Chair Dahle and Members of the Committee: . We write to support AJR 5, introduced by Assemblywomen Luz Rivas and Marie Waldron, to urge a moratorium on federal wild horse and burro roundups in the state. The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, through our tax dollars, provides public lands and protection for wild horses and burros. The law states that “It is the policy of Congress that wild free-roaming horses and burros shall be protected from capture, branding, harassment, or death; and to accomplish this they are to be considered in the area where presently found, as an integral part of the natural system of the public lands.” . AJR 5 recognizes the 50th anniversary of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, and calls for a return to the original provisions, which have eroded over time from changes to Interior budgets passed by Congress. The Bureau of Land Management continues to increase roundups as though the animals are pests, rather than an integral part of the ecosystem. The majority of Americans see these majestic creatures as living symbols of freedom and America’s enduring spirit. Since 2018 in California, thousands of wild horses and burros have been rounded up by the BLM and U.S. Forest Service at Twin Peaks and Modoc Forest, many of which were later sold and subsequently shipped across the border to slaughterhouses.
