MCEA 22' CLE series Environmental Justice & Civil Rights: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act bars discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in any activity or program that receives federal funding. MCEA attorneys will discuss how Title VI has been used to make progress towards environmental justice and how the federal government has signaled renewed interest in conducting Title VI investigations. The panelists will look at some recent Title VI complaints and discuss the prospects for addressing the disparate impacts of pollution here in Minnesota.
