Episode 12: Exploring Washington’s Healthy Environment for All Act with Front and Centered

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.
