President Joe Biden signed an executive order Friday in an effort to expand on his administration's environmental justice goals, such as delivering clean air and water to communities nationwide, as he nears an expected announcement for his re-election campaign.
"We vowed to take action on the most ambitious climate environmental justice agenda in American history and that’s exactly what we did," Biden said from the White House Rose Garden in the afternoon.
"This is about people’s health. It’s about the health of our communities," Biden added. He then quipped: "It’s only about the future of our planet."
