Blocking funds for the Climate Justice Alliance sets a precedent that progressive organizations will be labeled as terrorist groups.

Last December, the Environmental Protection Agency announced the award of $600 million from the Inflation Reduction Act to fund thousands of environmental justice projects across the country. Rather than giving money to individual projects, the EPA selected 11 so-called grantmakers to give lump sums to, which would then be doled out to other community-based groups.
One of those grantmaking organizations is the Climate Justice Alliance, which is still waiting to receive the $50 million it was awarded by the EPA. With President Biden’s days in office dwindling, it may very well never receive it, all because the non-profit is vocally pro-Palestinian.
