Ironbound Justice

Over 50 years of engaging and empowering individuals, families and groups in realizing their aspirations to create a just, vibrant, and sustainable community.

[Community Partnerships Program @CMNTYPARTNERS]

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:

[Ironbound Justice @IronboundCC]

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.

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

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?

[Ironbound Justice @IronboundCC]

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.

“I’m afraid that ‘#EnvironmentalJustice’ is just a buzz phrase for this administration.” - Maria Lopez-Nunez, @IronboundCC

@starledger's editorial board explains how @GovMurphy blew the chance to prevent kids from breathing putrid air. #JusticeForNewark

Newark is holding their breath as the threat of 4th fossil fuel power plant looms over our heads.

Thank you for your coverage @NPR! https://t.co/QRPMKvapsG

[Charlie Kratovil @Charlie4Change]

.@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.

[Ironbound Justice @IronboundCC]

This news is going national !
@GovMurphy Newark says NO to PVSC’s proposal to build a 4th fossil fuel power plant in Newark, NJ!

[Ironbound Justice @IronboundCC]

@GovMurphy the Ironbound of Newark is a 4-square mile neighborhood. We don’t need a fossil fuel power plant per every mile. Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission’s plan to add a 4th fossil fuel power plant in Newark breaks our hearts!

[Ironbound Justice @IronboundCC]

UNTIL NEWARK IS A GARDEN, WE WON’T BE THE GARDEN STATE!
