Biden-Harris Regime Creates Yet Another Ridiculous Agency

The Biden-Harris administration is developing an Office of Environmental Justice under the Department of Health and Human Services in order to  “better protect the health of disadvantaged communities and vulnerable populations on the frontlines of pollution and other environmental health issues.”

“The blunt truth is that many communities across our nation – particularly low-income communities and communities of color – continue to bear the brunt of pollution from industrial development, poor land use decisions, transportation, and trade corridors,” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a press release.

“Meeting the needs of these communities requires our focused attention. That’s why HHS is establishing the Office of Environmental Justice,” he wrote.

The brand-new workplace is under the province of Admiral Rachel Levine, Biden’s highly questionable pick for assistant secretary for health.

“Millions in the U.S. are at risk of poor health because they live, work, play, learn and grow in or near areas of excessive pollution and other environmental hazards. The Office of Environmental Justice is an important avenue through which their well-being and quality of life are receiving our full attention,” Levine said.

The office will supervise “Leading initiatives that integrate environmental justice into the HHS mission to improve health in disadvantaged communities and vulnerable populations across the nation.”

“By creating this new office and prioritizing environmental justice at HHS, Secretary Becerra is undertaking the type of bold institutional reform that is desperately needed to deliver clean air and clean water for all communities,” said White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair Brenda Mallory. “Today’s announcement is a key step toward confronting environmental injustice – in all of its heartbreaking forms – with the full force and commitment of the Federal government.”

As HHS manages 11 departments, consisting of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health, the new office will likewise establish and carry out an agency-wide technique on so-called ‘ecological justice’.

White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair Brenda Mallory commented: “By creating this new office and prioritizing environmental justice at HHS, Secretary Becerra is undertaking the type of bold institutional reform that is desperately needed to deliver clean air and clean water for all communities.”

(Editor’s Note: Americans are ‘welcomed’ to supply input on the agency through the Federal Register until June 18 and those objecting to the creation of this regulatory homunculus should definitely do so.)
