We invite you to join Secretary Jennifer M. Granholm and Director Shalanda Baker of the US Department of Energy on Wednesday, August 17th, for a live webinar outlining the implementation of the Justice40 Initiative at the Department of Energy.
Last month, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a massive 144 programs that are covered under Justice40! This Justice40 Webinar will outline what this means for disadvantaged communities across the US and its territories. It will feature representatives from offices across the department highlighting how their programs, including those funded by the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, are already working toward Justice40.
This free, public webinar will take place on August 17 @ 2 pm EDT. Please register here: https://bit.ly/Justice40 and share widely!
In the meantime, check out our Justice40 Programs Highlights Sheet that features efforts already made by DOE to direct resources to and build capacity in low-income communities and communities of color.
While this is all great progress, we know this is not enough and we are not stopping here. We want to reiterate that DOE is laser-focused on ensuring that every project that receives funding through a DOE Justice40 Covered Program adheres to the principles of environmental justice. Our Environmental Justice Explainer discusses in more detail and reinforces that commitment.
You can learn more about the Justice40 Initiative at DOE, find the attached resources and more on our Justice40 Initiative website. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at energyjustice@hq.doe.gov.
We hope to see you on the Wednesday, August 17th! Don’t forget to REGISTER!
