(NEW ORLEANS, LA) - The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice (DSCEJ) accepted the invitation from the Biden-Harris Administration to attend the Communities in Action: Building a Better Louisiana at the White House on January 25, 2023. The goal of this event is to highlight the impact of Biden-Harris programs in communities across Louisiana. Monique Harden, Director of Law and Public Policy/Community Engagement Program Manager, is representing the DSCEJ at this event.

"Today's event is an opportunity to share the work we do in collaboration with community-based organizations and HBCUs which has support in the Justice40 Initiative and laws signed by President Biden - the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and Inflation Reduction Act," said Dr. Beverly Wright, DSCEJ Founder and Executive Director, who also serves on the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council.

"We are thankful that President Biden has made environmental justice a priority," she said.
