Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan claimed Wednesday that his agency has not funded a hardline activist group despite announcing them as an awardee of $50 million in December 2023.

Regan repeatedly denied that his agency has sent any cash to the Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) during a Wednesday appearance in front of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Capitol Hill during a testy exchange with Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace.


Despite Regan’s statements, CJA is still listed on the agency’s website as a recipient of $50 million in taxpayer cash via the EPA’s “Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program,” which is designed for recipients including CJA to act as pass-through grantmakers to fund other groups pursuing “environmental justice.”

“As part of the allocation, $600 million is devoted to the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program, which has shown serious signs of waste, fraud and abuse,” Mace said as she began her questioning.

Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program is a misallocation of finite public resources.  It needs to be eliminated, and it's resources need to be allocated to projects and initiatives with greater measurable efficiencies and greater measurable positive return on investment.

Doling out money to activists and lawyers won't solve anything.
