“The U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of this package of three appropriations bills is an important step toward protecting essential programs and staff that directly affect the health and economic stability of Latino communities across California. Bipartisan action to reject the most severe proposed cuts helps ensure that Congress—not the Trump administration—directs how taxpayer dollars are spent.
For Latino communities that have long borne the brunt of pollution and chronic underinvestment, advancing and safeguarding federal funding is not optional—it is critical. These investments support historic preservation, public lands, clean air and water, resilient infrastructure, and improved public health, while helping to address legacy environmental injustices. As this package moves to the Senate, it is essential that lawmakers continue to uphold strong funding levels and enforce guardrails that prevent the misuse or withholding of resources our communities depend on.”
