Report finds cash-strapped NASA still spending MILLIONS on grants to DEI and “environmental justice” initiatives
By Ava Grace // Oct 30, 2024

Despite being severely underfunded, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) still spent millions of taxpayer dollars on grants to initiatives that focus on "environmental justice" and diversity, equity and inclusion.

Records indicate that much of NASA's $10 million grant spending went to universities to help them study environmental justice in urban areas as well as other places with high concentrations of racial minorities.

For instance, the agency approved $150,000 in funding to Columbia University so it could pair “earth observations and socioeconomic data” and enable students to do environmental justice work in New York City.

Another grant, this time worth $250,000, was paid out to Los Angeles as part of NASA’s Predictive Environmental Analytics and Community Engagement for Equity and Environmental Justice (PEACE) program.

To remedy its observation that "people of color often face higher exposure to air pollutants," NASA's PEACE program paid the city to provide pollution data to its residents in "a way that works across communities and cultural differences and specifically analyzes, engages and responds to needs for environmental justice."

NASA has provided over $5 million for "environmental justice" grants since 2022, according to federal records.

"The environmental justice movement focuses on ensuring communities receive equitable protection from natural and human-induced environmental hazards," NASA's webpage on equity and environmental justice reads. "It embodies the principle that all communities should be heard and represented in decision making."

NASA is billions of dollars short of the funding required to complete current missions

Meanwhile, the space agency has been providing millions of taxpayer dollars to grants on DEI initiatives since at least 2020.

This is despite the fact that the agency is multiple billions of dollars short of the funding required to complete its current missions, has fired hundreds of people working on its Mars missions over budgetary concerns, and may not have enough funding to maintain a multibillion-dollar space telescope.

In 2023, NASA approved a contract worth roughly $2.9 million to a consulting firm to "incorporate and deeply engrain" DEI in the "culture" of its Space Mission Directorate, according to spending records.

In 2020, NASA allocated another $900,000 to the National Academy of Sciences to help the organization increase the diversity among the leaders of NASA's space missions. (Related: Military wokeness in the spotlight after two female Navy pilots die in fighter jet crash.)

NASA also gave the Southeastern Universities Research Association thousands of dollars to make the agency’s heliophysics material "more relevant and open to the Latinx and Native American communities," records show.

The agency paid tens of thousands of additional dollars to The Oceanography Society to embed DEI in its ocean sciences work.

NASA observers note that the language used to describe its environmental justice and DEI programs mirrors the language used by the Justice40 Initiative of the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. This initiative dictates that 40 percent of the beneficiaries of federal climate and environmental programs must be from "underserved communities."

The White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council later defined "underserved communities" as those that are "majority-minority." NASA's work is also covered by the Justice40 Initiative, according to government documents.
