This photo and post are unbelievable in their obtuseness, and total uselessness. But I repeat myself. Their reason for being is a huge hoax, and they are supported with MY tax dollars! Yes, in spite of the Trump administration outlawing DEI, my state goes right on ahead indoctrinating everyone to believe that there is such a thing as “environmental justice.” To them, everyone in the state except white, heterosexual, males and females is a Victim. Everyone in the state must fall into one or more victim groups, and the more you fall into, the greater is your Victim Virtue. Bolded items are weasel-words and phrases, mine!
SPECIAL MEETING WA State Environmental Justice Council We would like to invite you to attend a public Environmental Justice Council special meeting on: Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026 From 12:30 to 2:30pm
Please join us at 12:20 PM for a presentation on how to turn on closed captions and join the Spanish and ASL interpretation channels. The meeting will be held on Zoom.
The EJ Council is convening a special meeting to consider the possible adoption of 2027-2029 budget recommendations for the Governor and Legislature and dates for future Council meetings.
The EJ Council will also discuss possible policy positions for the 2027 legislative session. The EJ Council may hold another special meeting on Thursday Sept. 24 from 12:30 – 2:00 PM if additional time is needed for these topics. You can find information about the Council, the meeting agenda, and meeting materials online.
Every Council meeting will have time for you to share your environmental justice concerns and ideas. You can sign-up to provide comments at the meeting by emailing: envjustice@ejc.wa.gov If you need a language interpreter (other than Spanish or ASL which are already provided) or other accommodations for this Council meeting, please email us in any language. You can also call us at 360-584-4398 (telephone interpretation available).
You can also call or email us if you need meeting materials translated, if you have questions, or if you just want to connect with Council staff. We hope to see you there! The Environmental Justice Council in Washington State is a 14-member advisory group created by the 2021 Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act.
The Environmental Justice Council advises state agencies on incorporating environmental justice into their programs, budgets, and policies. https://governor.wa.gov/boards-commissions/board-commission-profiles/Environmental%20Justice%20Council
Funding Focus: It helps guide the state’s goal of directing 40% of specific environmental and climate expenditures to overburdened communities and vulnerable populations.

Please notice that almost everyone in the photo is wearing a mask. Aside from mainly keeping pollen out if you are allergic, there is NO reason anymore for members of the public to wear masks, especially outdoors. That just says “brainwashed”. What a waste of Taxpayer Dollars! And I’ll bet that Environmental Justice Council won’t consider any white neighborhoods to be included in the “overburdened communities” category, even though every Washington State citizen qualifies as overburdened with taxes, regulations, and fees since the last legislative session. Everyone has also been affected by the wildfires across the state, due to the DNR neglect of our state and national forests. They care about only their preferred victim groups, and most of us aren’t in one.
