We've submitted comments to @EPA, alongside 21 #EnvironmentalJustice & community groups and individuals, urging the agency to update its emission standards for large municipal waste incinerators to make them as protective to surrounding communities as possible.

Newark is still and currently facing the threat of a 4th fossil fuel power plant for our community as proposed by the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission.
Fossil fuels are a driving force for climate change. We need action now.

This smoke will eventually pass, but the effects of climate change are not going anywhere.
If we do not take action as a country, what will the future look like for our younger generations?

The agency MUST adopt a strong rule that protects public health & our environment. Read more: https:/shorturl.at/HIKV3

🎉 Thank you to CA’s EJ communities and communities across the country for successfully advocating for the CA Heavy Duty Truck Waivers to be granted by @EPA! Our efforts enable states the ability to adopt the same critical standards.

A nuclear power plant in Minnesota leaked 400,000 gallons of contaminated water in November. The general public wasn't notified until last week.

Will Gov Murphy fail to stop 6 new fossil-fuel projects in NJ, expected to worsen air quality in minority communities already overburdened by pollution? #jerseycity #newark

"Renewable natural gas" is the new "clean coal."
It doesn't exist.
It's another scam from fossil fuel companies trying to make a profit by using our bodies as landfills, to borrow a phrase from Maria Lopez-Nunez of @IronboundCC.
