Leslie Fields was featured in a Capital B article on the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory rollbacks and what they will mean for communities of color. The article also appeared in Yahoo News and the Indiana Citizen.
“In nearly every American county, more Black people die from air pollution,” said Fields, of WE ACT. “Enabling this disparity is environmental racism, and these rollbacks will lead to continued increasing rates of cancer, lung and heart disease, illnesses, and premature death in our communities.”
