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 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!

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…
