And of course the MSM has little to no interest in reporting this.
Taking the peoples money and then giving it to people who use it against the people. Democratic Party grift.
The cartoon above reflects a dynamic that has been noticed by some with respect to how the State of Washington is funding “environmental justice” projects with money raised from the “Climate Commitment Act” — the use of the funds for political attacks.
The label “environmental justice” is just a masquerade ball mask hiding the identity of the same intersectional identity-based “politics of grievance” that has been the stock-and-trade of the Democrat Party for 60+ years. Among the best descriptions I have seen of what the label “environmental justice” cloaks is that is like the “Green New Deal” — but the woke version.
It is quite literally the Green New Deal with an overcoat of racial justice politics to sell it as advancing the unifying goals of intersectionality in the political arena..
“Intersectionality” is the framework for grievance politics that helps “explain” how an individual’s race, gender, class, sexual preferences, and “differing abilities” all combine to discriminate and oppress them through the western white colonialist Anglo-Judeo-Christian culture in which they are trapped.
I’ve written previously about the Climate Commitment Act (CCA) and the Healthy Environment For All Act (HEAL) passed and signed into law in Washington state in 2021 — both articles are free to all. The combination of the two created a funding mechanism by taxing what the state legislature identified as industrial polluters, and then a structure using that money to fund literally hundreds — and eventually thousands — of NGO-run Green New Deal programs all over the state.
Liberal interest groups in Washington state are so proud of their achievements that one has created an interactive map that allows you to click-on individual programs to learn who the NGO is, a description of the project being funded with CAA money, and the amount of money given to the NGO for that purpose. My earlier two articles focused on “environmental justice programs” as defined in the statutes, and the requirement that literally hundreds of millions of dollars be put into the hands of NGO operators in “overburdened communities” where “vulnerable populations” are found. The CCA defines those phrases as follows:

Washington State Gives "Climate Commitment Act" Funds To NGOs For "Advocacy" -- With Some Then Used To Attack The State's Farmers and Ranchers.
A study of 21 projects showed only one included any projections on how pollution would be reduced, whereas most revealed that the bulk of funds would go to staff and overhead -- the great NGO Grift.
