The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) faced significant challenges following the Trump administration's removal of federal environmental data and tools like EJScreen. This disruption impacted SELC's ability to track air quality in regions like South Memphis. In response, geospatial analyst Libbie Weimer and her team have developed a guide to archived environmental resources, including raw data and web tools, to support their advocacy initiatives, helping their staff and partner organizations regain access to essential information.
"Where I work, I serve a staff of over 100 people, plus our dozens of community-based partner organizations across six states. Overnight, those people stopped having access to the information they use on a daily basis to protect."
"The disappearance of this resource is just one example of how the SELC's work has been stymied in recent months, according to geospatial analyst Libbie Weimer."
