This proceeds from an ENR<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.senate.gov\/hearings\/2024\/3\/full-committee-hearing-to-consider-ferc-nominations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> hearing this past March<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to consider the nominees consisting of David Rosner, Judy Chang, and Lindsay See. In response, Anastasia Gordon, Federal Policy Director at WE ACT for Environmental Justice had this to say:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGiven their testimonies at the Committee\u2019s hearing in March, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weact.org\/2024\/03\/federal-energy-regulatory-commission-nominees-lack-expertise-and-deflect-responsibility-on-environmental-justice-and-climate\/\">our concerns<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bout the nominees\u2019 ability to have the public\u2019s best interest at heart remain true. The advancement of these nominees leaves environmental justice communities who experience disproportionate harm from polluting infrastructure wary that a Commission with them at the helm will not meet the demands of this moment. We need FERC leadership that centers public health, environmental justice, climate mitigation, and resiliency in decision-making. We urge the Senate to keep these goals at the forefront of their minds when it comes time to consider and vote on whether these potential candidates should serve on an Agency that has so much direct influence on the lives and futures of Americans, especially those on the frontlines.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"># # #<\/p>\r\n<p>WE ACT for Environmental Justice is a Northern Manhattan membership-based organization whose mission is to build healthy communities by ensuring that people of color and\/or low-income residents participate meaningfully in the creation of sound and fair environmental health and protection policies and practices.
