These measures don't capture individual needs, even if they are culturally more respectful questions.

The ways racism/classism intersect with environmental justice and climate change organizing, and including people from these communities in decision making. Often times, interstate highways, large development projects, airports, location for landfills/factories/etc more often go through and pollutes neighborhoods that are historically communities of color. And when new apartment complexes, light rail stations, and "infrastructure improvements" come to these neighborhoods, they often don't include or listen to BIPOC communities and their leadership in decision making. And then BIPOC communities and families get pushed out or priced out. When prioritizing environmental justice, Board of Health needs to consult with Black, Indigenous, People of Color community; and ideally go beyond consulting and hire BIPOC who hold relationships/leaderships with organizers and neighbors into positions with decision making power.
