Marylanders don't currently have a legal right to clean air and water.

As a result, communities of color and low income neighborhoods across Maryland bear the burden of environmental pollution and the negative health impacts that result. We can fix this. The Environmental Human Rights Amendment would add two new protections in the Declaration of Rights section of our state constitution:

1) that each person has the fundamental and inalienable right to a healthful and sustainable environment and
2) that the State, as trustee, shall protect, enhance, and conserve Maryland's natural resources on behalf of present and future generations.
