‘We Need You’: Former Militant Leader Whose Group Was Surveilled by FBI Co-Chairs Biden-Harris Environmental Justice Council
4th October 2024
A former militant group leader whose organization was affiliated with the Weathermen terrorists and monitored by the FBI now leads a small but influential group of White House policymakers championed by Vice President Kamala Harris.
The White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council was created in the first week of the Biden-Harris administration as part of the White House’s effort to, according to an executive order, “increase the federal government’s efforts to address current and historic environmental injustice.” The group is composed of individuals appointed by the president who, the White House states, “have knowledge about or experience in environmental justice, climate change, disaster preparedness, or racial inequity, among other areas of expertise.”
Leading those individuals is a man named Richard Moore, who co-chairs the council. His brief biography provided by the Environmental Protection Agency describes him as a “widely respected national leader in the area of environmental justice” who “has served on numerous government and nongovernmental committees and panels.”
