SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Crisis in almost every sphere of life is now the 
        standard and is exacerbated through inequalities in the spheres 
        of race, sexuality, and gender. These stem from disparities in 
        society that have grown exponentially over the last 40 years 
        with the dramatic decline in manufacturing being a key 
        contributing factor.
            (2) A manufacturing renaissance is at the heart of our 
        ability to strategically and proactively address our 
        intersecting crises of racism, climate change, and economic 
        inequality.
            (3) Only a revitalized manufacturing sector can create the 
        products, processes, and transition opportunities that are 
        necessary to address the climate crisis, including the 
        strategic development of domestic supply chains that strengthen 
        economic resilience to future economic and environmental 
        shocks. Expanding our advanced manufacturing sector is central 
        for the march to zero emissions and the de-carbonization of our 
        society.
            (4) The goal of revitalization is not to return to the type 
        of manufacturing sector we had in the past, where Black, 
        Indigenous, and workers of color, as well as women, were last 
        hired and first fired, and where workers and communities were 
        excluded from the critical decisions in the productive process.
            (5) People who live, work, and play in America's most 
        polluted environments are commonly people of color and the 
        poor. Environmental justice advocates have shown that this is 
        no accident. Communities of color, which are often also low-
        income, are routinely targeted to host facilities that have 
        negative environmental impacts--say, a landfill, dirty 
        industrial plant, or truck depot. The statistics provide clear 
        evidence of what is commonly called ``environmental racism.'' 
        Communities of color have been battling this injustice for 
        decades. If we are to truly to ``Build Back Better'' we must 
        address this environmental imbalance with a coherent, inclusive 
        industrial policy, including providing funding for transitions 
        for workers and for companies.
            (6) Embracing inclusion and empowerment of non-traditional 
        manufacturing populations in all aspects of manufacturing is 
        not only a competitive advantage, but a moral imperative.
