• Updated Grants Information
• Engagement Call Feedback Session (EPA welcomes comments and feedback on these community engagement calls to help ensure productive and meaningful discussions. Please limit all comments to 2 minutes, as we will be enforcing time limits to allow everyone an opportunity to speak. We kindly asked that you remain respectful to EPA and other participants, and note that there are certain topics EPA cannot discuss at this time)

The purpose of these calls is to inform the community and other stakeholders about EPA's EJ work and enhance opportunities to maintain an open dialogue with EJ advocates.
