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.
Read our letter:
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.
After #DecadesofDenial it's past time for @EPA to protect #FrontlineCommunities from filthy air & harmful chemicals spewing from incinerators across the nation.
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.

.@GovMurphy is unethically attempting to rush thru plans for dirty projects like this one and the Woodbridge Gas Plant before the Environmental Justice law he signed on 9/20/20 is implemented.
