This resolution recognizes April 10, 2025, as Environmental Justice Day at the Texas State Capitol, highlighting the critical work of environmental justice organizations in addressing pollution and health disparities in vulnerable communities. The resolution acknowledges that low-income communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by environmental contaminants in air, water, and soil, and praises organizations like Air Alliance Houston, Coalition for Environment, Equity, and Resilience, Bayou City Waterkeeper, and Public Citizen for their efforts to promote a safe, clean, and healthy environment. By officially designating this day, the Texas House of Representatives seeks to draw attention to the important advocacy work of environmental justice groups and their contributions to improving the quality of life for Texans, while extending a warm welcome to the visiting delegation on this commemorative day.
