HR 593 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing April 10, 2025, as Environmental Justice Day at the State Capitol.

This resolution designates April 10, 2025, as "Environmental Justice Day" at the Texas State Capitol. It formally recognizes efforts by environmental justice organizations - such as Air Alliance Houston and the Coalition for Environment, Equity, and Resilience - to address pollution and health hazards disproportionately affecting low-income communities of color. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funds; it solely commemorates these groups' work through a ceremonial designation at the state capitol. This symbolic recognition aims to highlight their contributions to environmental safety and community health in Texas.
