Biden’s Lame Duck Gravy Train For ‘Environmental Justice’ Activists Pours Cash Into Anti-Police, Pro-DEI Groups

The Biden administration announced Thursday that it is routing nearly $1.6 billion in taxpayer funds for awardees to pursue “environmental justice,” with an array of left-wing activist groups among the awardees.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is administering the funding, which will benefit 105 applicants around the country aiming “to advance local, on-the-ground projects that reduce pollution, increase community climate resilience, and build community capacity.” While some universities and municipal governments are among the EPA’s recipients, so too are left-wing activist groups that oppose capitalism, sponsor other organizations pushing for decarceration and seek to push so-called “diversity, equity and inclusion” in classrooms.

“On day one of his Administration, President Biden promised to target investments to communities that for too long have been shut out of federal funding,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said of the funding announced Thursday. “Today, thanks to President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, EPA is delivering on that promise. These selections will create jobs, improve public health, and uplift community efforts in all corners of this country, regardless of geography or background.”

One project receiving EPA cash will be assisted by the Ella Baker Center For Human Rights, an activist group in favor of defunding the police. That particular project will “engage up to 1,350 individuals in California prisons and reentry communities to learn about the unique environmental and climate justice challenges faced by these communities,” and will also establish a state advisory board that will produce recommendations as to how to improve these issues, according to the EPA.

Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit that provides sponsorship to up-and-coming left-wing activist groups, is the lead applicant on an awarded project that will seek to help residents of Los Angeles decarbonize buildings, according to the EPA. Some of the organizations benefiting from Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs’ sponsorship include
