The newly created OEJ will focus on climate-related health issues that they say impact “marginalized” and “poor” Americans.
The OEJ will operate within the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity at HHS. The creation of the new initiative was part of President Biden’s Executive Order on “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.”
The newly created office is focused on “health inequities for people of color, disadvantaged, vulnerable, low-income, marginalized, and indigenous populations.”
“The blunt truth is that many communities across our nation – particularly low-income communities and communities of color – continue to bear the brunt of pollution from industrial development, poor land-use decisions, transportation, and trade corridors,” said Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement on Tuesday.
Becerra went on to say that “Meeting the needs of these communities requires our focused attention. That’s why HHS is establishing the Office of Environmental Justice.”
Rachel Levine, the Assistant Secretary for Health, noted, “Millions in the U.S. are at risk of poor health because they live, work, play, learn and grow in or near areas of excessive pollution and other environmental hazards. The Office of Environmental Justice is an important avenue through which their well-being and quality of life are receiving our full attention.”
The leadership went on to celebrate the White House and President Biden for having the “most ambitious environmental justice agenda in history.”
The OEJ seeks public input and opinion on a draft outline to expand the 2022 HHS Environmental Justice Strategy and Implementation Plan.
“HHS would like to identify priority actions and strategies to best address environmental injustices and health inequities for people of color, disadvantaged, vulnerable, low-income, marginalized, and indigenous populations,” HHS said in their draft outline.
As cited in the outline from the newly created OEJ, their number one source of information driving the initiative is a 2007 study entitled “Toxic Wastes and Race at Twenty 1987-2007.” The study, commissioned by the United Church of Christ, a religious organization, is where the term “environmental racism” was coined.
It appears portions of Critical Race Theory are driving the creation and operations of this newly established department.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

Looks like early moves to turn climate panic into a health issue. Totally expected this. That way, they can have a climate lockdown under the auspices of the New World Order new Pandemic Treaty, which gives sovereignty to a bunch of UNELECTED people of fairly ill repute. Once you’ve walked around in the heads of these folk for a while, they at least become ENTIRELY predictable, because they lack personal creativity, and usually talent also when you look much closer.
