The decision raises questions as to how Biden's EPA landed on Climate Justice Alliance for the program, given that the group has publicly condemned the administration over its support for the Jewish state.
Climate Justice Alliance, a network of nearly 90 left-wing environmental groups from across the country, issued an Oct. 20 statement accusing Biden of using "US taxpayer dollars to support a policy of genocide."
In addition to its criticism of Biden over the Democrat's handling of the war, Climate Justice Alliance has worked to justify Hamas's terror attack on the Jewish state.
One week ago, the group released a video titled, "The path to climate justice travels through a free Palestine," which "Uses an anti-colonial framework to show how Climate Justice and the liberation of Palestine are connected."
"Our hope in creating this new resource is to mobilize additional sectors of the climate movement for the fight to free Palestine," the group said, "And to begin to shift the politics of the mainstream climate movement from carbon fundamentalism to climate justice."
The Climate Justice Alliance is only one of a number of groups scarfing up that $600 million in grants from the EPA. The EPA program that enlists Climate Justice Alliance to distribute taxpayer-funded "Subgrants" is called the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking program and is funded through Biden's Inflation Reduction Act.
As part of the program, Climate Justice Alliance and 10 other groups will receive $50 million in taxpayer funds that they will then distribute to "Community-based nonprofit organizations and other eligible organizations representing disadvantaged communities."
