Today, at the first ever white house summit on environmental justice in action, the biden harris administration released detailed progress reports from 24 federal agencies showcasing how the president is delivering for communities that have faced longstanding environmental injustices and inequities. This work is based on a review of the existing ej scorecard, meetings with seven federal agencies to hear about their challenges reporting for ej scorecard phase one, and our own experiences in using the existing ej scorecard as environmental justice stakeholders. Most agencies demonstrated an upward trend during the scoring period, suggesting that the role scorecards can play in holding agencies accountable. overall, this scorecard highlighted areas where each of the nine maryland state agencies can improve their efforts on ej issues. In january 2023, on the two year anniversary of president biden’s first executive order on environmental justice, senator markey and congresswoman bush led their colleagues in a letter to ceq providing recommendations for the initial release of the ej scorecard.
