GreenLatinos Statement on the Polluters over People Bill H.R. 1

GreenLatinos condemns H.R. 1 as a "giveaway" to the oil, gas, and mining industries that creates "dangerous loopholes" and undermines environmental and public health laws. The organization asserts that the bill ignores the climate crisis and the availability of clean energy, leading to increased pollution, asthma, and cancer in communities, specifically those with significant Latino/a/e populations.

• GreenLatinos characterizes H.R. 1 as a benefit to the fossil fuel industry that provides "free handouts to the oil, gas, and mining industry" and establishes "dangerous loopholes."
• The organization argues that the bill ignores the climate crisis and the necessity of transitioning to clean energy, which it describes as "cheap, clean energy that must inevitably replace the use of dirty fossil fuels."
• The statement claims that the bill threatens public health by "gutting our bedrock environmental and public health laws," resulting in increased rates of asthma, cancer, and pollution, especially in districts with significant Latino/a/e communities.
