(NEW ORLEANS, LA) – In response to numerous requests for interviews, Dr. Beverly Wright releases a statement to address questions on the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice’s work going forward.
“As the first and longest-serving environmental justice resource center in the nation, Deep South Center for Environmental Justice was founded more than 30 years ago to improve the lives of communities harmed by pollution and vulnerable to climate change.
DSCEJ’s commitment to environmental justice has remained constant during five presidential administrations and countless environmental statutes and policy shifts. We have known the hope of promises made, the joy of promises kept and the bitterness of promises broken.
As we prepare to usher in a new presidential administration, the mission of DSCEJ remains constant and our commitment to overburdened environmental justice communities is unwavering.”
