AOC: Any Infrastructure Bill Must Address the History of Injustice

Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:  “I rise today to offer six amendments to the Invest in America Act. It is imperative that any infrastructure bill that we work on, and passed by Congress, helps to achieve two goals. One, address the history of injustice and displacement that traditional and historic infrastructure investment has imposed on communities of color and working people, like the construction of the Cross Bronx Expressway. And the second is to prepare for and create good, dignified jobs, good dignified union jobs in building the infrastructure that helps mitigate climate change.”
