National Environmental Justice Community Engagement Calls
The purpose of these calls is to inform the public about EPA's environmental justice work and enhance opportunities to maintain an open dialogue with environmental justice advocates. The calls first began in 2010 and were a valuable tool for EPA to learn about environmental justice needs in communities around the country. As the Biden-Harris Administration has placed environmental justice at the center of the national agenda, the Agency is relaunching these calls as a first step towards reestablishing meaningful and engaging participation with community groups and the public. This direct dialogue will strengthen the integration of EJ into all that we do as we pursue achieving meaningful improvements on the ground for communities.
Due to limited space, participation in these calls will be on a first come, first-served basis. Pre-registration is highly suggested, but not required. If you are unable to join a call, meeting materials and a recording of the meeting will be posted to this page after each call.
