The Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) was named one of the EPA 's grantmakers more than a year ago .

The group has faced a barrage of attacks for publicly opposing the Israel -Hamas war.

The money could disappear if it isn’t dispersed before President-elect Donald Trump steps into office.

The group says the EPA told the group to expect funding by January 6th .

It says the funding is needed for Indigenous communities and other groups that have historically been “left out” of environmental protections.

A letter from Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Buddy Carter accuses the CJA of supporting “partisan, and in some cases extreme, environmental activism” and the “litigation of fossil fuel projects”.
