The Alliance for Appalachia was one of many coalitions taking part in the House Committee of Natural Resources' Environmental Justice Working Group. Several members took part in the Environmental Justice Convening on June 26, 2019. This all-day event convened policymakers, environmental leaders and practitioners to educate Congressional staff on the history and context of the environmental justice (EJ) movement, discuss current challenges and policy priorities for EJ practitioners and frontline community-based organizations, and connect policymakers and EJ advocates across the country.
