BREAKING: a *first-of-its-kind* agreement between the @EPA and the @ILEPA will immediately reform parts of the permitting process for industry — a process that has helped create sacrifice zones in communities of color. chicagotribune.com/2024/02/2…

Huge congrats to @SE_TaskForce and @pcrchi for winning these much needed reforms. As always, troubled by just how many levers communities need to pull (hunger strike, lawsuit, etc) to secure basic protections. grist.org/cities/chicago-adv…

ICYMI, @ILEPA must revamp its permitting process for polluting industries in residential neighborhoods.
It's a HUGE victory, especially for our friends at @SE_TaskForce, @pcrchi, @CEJNetwork, & @LVEJO, who have long fought against environmental racism.

“This is something that should not be taken lightly,” SETF's @oso_campeon said. “But at the same time, we are also looking forward to seeing how this administration continues to do this type of work to actually improve public health.” grist.org/cities/chicago-adv…

This agreement needs to be celebrated and held accountable because the implementation matters!
This was possible by the organizing of those before us and those that gave fuel to @SE_TaskForce @CHIhungerstrike @pcrchi and our siblings from @CEJNetwork. All power to the people!

@IEPA's new policy, effective immediately, also requires evaluating applicant histories, addressing disproportionate impacts with stricter requirements, streamlining discrimination grievance processes, and improving public and language access.

This agreement stems from a civil rights complaint made by Chicago Southeast Side environmental justice groups in 2020, concerning the decision to move a notorious metal shredder from Lincoln Park to their mostly working-class community of color. grist.org/cities/chicago-gen…
