Austin Weekly News | May 20, 2024
The Environmental Justice Action Plan came out of the 2023 work and is intended to the change the city’s practices and policies to ensure that justice and equity principles are embedded in daily decision-making.
Among the priorities are a community air monitoring network strategy led by the Department of Health and community partners, including Little Village Environmental Justice Organization, Center for Neighborhood Technology and the UIC School of Public Health’s Environmental and Occupational Health Science. It will focus on neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by environmental hazards.
