Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we explore the Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act, a Washington State model policy that aims to address environmental justice and help facilitate a just transition. Join us as we speak with Guillermo Rogel Jr, Legislative Advocate, and Deric Gruen, Co-Executive Director of Programs and Policy at Front and Centered. Front and Centered is a powerful coalition of communities of color-led groups across Washington State, who work together at the intersection of equity, environmental, and climate justice. Our guests share the policy and community impacts of this landmark legislation as well as the ways this policy can provide lessons and insights for replication across the nation.   RESOURCES TO LEARN MORE:   Front and Centered https://frontandcentered.org/    Understanding the HEAL Act https://frontandcentered.org/bidens-ej-order-show-heals-reach-gaps/    HEAL Act Progress Report https://frontandcentered.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/FC-HEAL-Progress-Report-2023.pdf    STAY CONNECTED: www.justsolutionscollective.org Instagram @justsolutions_org Twitter: @Just_Solutions_ Facebook: /JustSolutionsOrg LinkedIn: /just-solutions-collective   EPISODE CREDITS:  Host: Aiko Schaefer  Producer: Tayler Ward  Editor and Recording Engineer: Angel Bautista Graphic Designer: Angel Bautista Music: Paolo Pavan - Street Walk Album: The Swing of Things - Mar 14, 2019 Info about license and crediting can be found here and in the folder
