Joe Biden delivers remarks on his economic recovery plan for working families | FULL SPEECH

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Tuesday released a $2 trillion plan to address climate change with an emphasis on correcting racial economic disparities.

Speaking from a gymnasium in his home state of Delaware, Biden made the case that communities of color have been especially victimized by corporate polluters.

He said those communities have borne “the environmental and health burdens but shared none of the profits.”

“As we do this work, we need to be mindful of the historical wrongs and damage that American industries have done in the 21st century, inflicting environmental harm on poor and vulnerable communities, so often Black and brown and Native American communities,” Biden said.

“Included here are polluted water, toxins pouring down on communities that bore the environmental and health burdens but shared none of the profits. Growing up and breathing that each and every day, it’s poison," he added.

"It’s partly why there’s such incredible rates of childhood asthma in Black and brown communities. Why Black Americans are almost three times more likely to die of asthma-related causes than white Americans. It’s cancer alley in St. James Parish in Louisiana and the cancer-causing clusters around Route 9 right here in Delaware,” he also said.
