HEALTHGEORGIA RECORDER
Public health improvements stall amid Trump’s DEI crackdown
A $19.8 million EPA grant aimed at improving environmental health in Dewey City, a historic Black neighborhood in Thomasville, Georgia, was revoked by the Trump administration shortly after it was awarded. The funding, part of a Biden-era initiative to address environmental risks in disadvantaged communities, was rescinded following Trump’s executive order targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
