Trump ordered to release billions in climate grants meant for Black communities
Reported byGrist ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A South Carolina federal judge and the Washington D.C. Circuit Court blocked the Trump administration's effort to terminate over $22 billion in climate and environmental justice grants authorized by Congress under the Inflation Reduction Act. The funds are meant to address environmental and health challenges in Black, low-income, and disadvantaged communities, including projects stalled in Jackson, Mississippi, and other cities.
These are court rulings requiring fund distribution; enforcement and actual disbursement of the full amount remain pending.
