EPA invites Environmental Justice (EJ) advocates to participate in the relaunched National Environmental Justice Public Engagement Calls, with the first taking place on February 17, 2021 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time). These calls are free and open to the public.

The purpose of these calls is to inform the public about EPA’s EJ work and enhance opportunities to maintain an open dialogue with EJ advocates. The calls first began in 2010 and were a valuable tool for EPA to learn about EJ needs in communities around the country. As EJ continues to be integrated into EPA programs and policies, the Agency hopes that relaunching these calls will help reaffirm EPA’s continued commitment to work with community groups and the public to strengthen local environmental and human health outcomes.
