New York state Attorney General Letitia James is leading a coalition made up of other state Attorney Generals to address Congress to add funding for combating environmental and climate change in the major bill currently under negotiation.

They also asked for spending to go towards efforts that would lower the damaging effects of climate change and to address how issues in the environment have had a hand in negatively impacting low income communities.
