I think it's the other way around. Community Organizer is management for SJWs.

Did ANY of you actually click on the article and read it?

This is directly written in the article linked. Not a quote of anyone else.
"The poorest and most vulnerable communities – or the ones that have not been invested in – tend to feel the effects of the climate crisis more than affluent areas.
For example, "cancer alley" – a stretch of industrial plants in Louisiana – is home to chemical plants and dangerous air pollution, as well as minority and poor communities.
These communities may also have fewer resources to deal with the effects of climate change – including owning items like air conditioners to cope with heat waves.
McCarthy added that promoting clean energy initiatives will also benefit U.S. economic growth by creating good-paying jobs, as well as union jobs."
Even the Fox News article provides evidence to support this claim, but because the headline sounds dumb to you, you can't engage with the topic at all.

"The poorest and most vulnerable communities – or the ones that have not been invested in – tend to feel the effects of the climate crisis more than affluent areas.”
So, is it cancer alley because of all of the investment, or racist because of none? Oh, plants are built in the less desirable part of town? Wow, that’s groundbreaking. The plants are there because of people like you creating demand.
“For example, "cancer alley" – a stretch of industrial plants in Louisiana – is home to chemical plants and dangerous air pollution, as well as minority and poor communities.”
Cancer alley is still majority white. Didn’t see that in the article. Lots of houses built in the area are younger than the plants. Someone chose to live there.
“These communities may also have fewer resources to deal with the effects of climate change – including owning items like air conditioners to cope with heat waves.”
Air conditioning is the Antichrist of the green movement. It should be outlawed. You are creating emissions (global warming for room cooling) for a luxury. Baton Rouge has never been hot before now, though.
“McCarthy added that promoting clean energy initiatives will also benefit U.S. economic growth by creating good-paying jobs, as well as union jobs."
Go tell that to the pipeline workers that are unemployed, face to face. I’m sure they will celebrate with you.
First of all, you don’t ### about what I read. You assume. Second, everyone that voted for Biden “including those that live in cancer alley” should give up fossil fuels immediately. Lead by example.
You want them to go away, but you still use the ### out of them. The headline is dumb because I see through the race baiting. Is that area toxic, yep. Is that area mostly white? Yep. Is that area in existence because of hypocrites like you that are outraged, but still create demand? Yep.

should be able to get their soy lattes and drive their kids in their priuses to the trans gender ballerina classes like everyone else in the world. #equity
sheesh
I love big city liberal mentality. Everyone should live like us in [insert major metro area here] because we clearly have much better quality of life than the rest of the country. Let us force our policies on 85% of the country and to hell with their wants or needs.

Biden explicitly mentioned poor whites in his remarks about cancer ally. I'll let you come to your own conclusion about why these comments were left out of the Fox News piece.
"With this executive order, environmental justice will be at the center of all we do addressing the disproportionate health and environmental and economic impacts on communities of color — so-called “fenceline communities” — especially those communities — brown, black, Native American, poor whites. It’s hard — the hard-hit areas like Cancer Alley in Louisia- — Cancer Alley in Louisiana, or the Route 9 corridor in the state of Delaware. "

Nope , read the headline. That’s enough. We’ve heard race, race, race from democrats until I admit I have no interest in anything they say about race. Done!!!
