As an open source community member, I want to know what Justice40-specific terms and acronyms mean. (#75)
* Add glossary from open source kickoff

* Updates to glossary

* Add EVCM because we use this in user stories in this repo's sprint
backlog (which is visible / recorded in the form of Github Issuess)
* Update Climate and Environment Justice Screening Tool to Climate and
Economic Justice Screening Tool, as per the original Executive Order

Justice40 Tool

CC0 License

This repo contains the code for the working prototype and soon to be MVP of the Justice40 Climate, Environmental, and Economic Justice Screeing Tool. The Justice40 initiative and screening tool were announced in an Executive Order in January 2021, with the goal to launch an MVP of the tool by July 27, 2021. This tool will include interactive maps and an initial draft scorecard by which federal agencies can identify historically overburdened and underserved communities for benefits in their programs.

The Justice40 team is taking a community-first and open source approach to the product development of this tool. We encourage contributions in the form of discussion on issues in this repo and pull requests of documentation and code. Please see the Contributing section for more information.
