LENEXA, KAN. (MAY 7, 2024) – On Monday, May 6, EPA Region 7 Administrator
Meg McCollister joined representatives from the African American, Hispanic,
and refugee communities, as well as local nonprofit and governmental
organizations working to address environmental justice concerns in Omaha,
Nebraska, on an environmental justice tour across the city followed by a
listening session.
“The opportunity to meet with local leaders to see and hear their concerns
in person is invaluable,” McCollister said. “The knowledge our team gained
through this experience will help inform our future conversations and actions
as we continue our work to advance clean air, water, and land for every person
across the city of Omaha, regardless of their background.”
The tour and listening session were designed to better understand community
leaders’ perspectives regarding areas with environmental justice concerns
across Omaha and to give those leaders the opportunity to voice their concerns
directly to EPA. During the tour, McCollister joined the community leaders in
gaining firsthand knowledge of identified areas for further discussion during
the listening session.
The tour and listening session included participants from Black Men United,
Charles Drew Health Center, City Sprouts, Clair Memorial United Methodist
Church, Conservation Nebraska, Creighton University, Douglas County, Fred
LeRoy Health and Wellness Center, Heartland Workers Center, Latino Economic
Development Council, Latino Center for the Midlands, Lutheran Family Services
of Nebraska, Nebraska Afghan Community Center, Nebraska Urban Indian Health
Coalition, Omaha Refugee Task Force, One World Omaha, Refugee Housing
Committee, Refugee Empowerment Center, Restoring Dignity, Spark CDI,
University of Nebraska Medical Center, and University of Nebraska-Omaha.
Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all
people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to
the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies.
