Young, Gifted & Green, a national civil rights and environmental justice organization, strongly condemns the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo [1]. This decision further empowers federal judges to strike down federal regulations that are essential for protecting the public. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court eliminated a longstanding legal principle known as Chevron deference. Chevron deference had previously required courts to defer to reasonable interpretations of ambiguous laws made by the federal agencies responsible for administering those laws. "This is a pivotal moment in the struggle for environmental justice. The SCOTUS' decision represents a grave threat to the health and wellbeing of marginalized communities nationwide. But we refuse to be discouraged. We know that the arc of history bends towards justice, and we will not rest until the courts recognize the EPA's rightful role as the defender of our air, our water, and our climate."--LaTricea D.
