The only "acceptable" amount of cancer-causing chemicals in our communities is ZERO.

[Coming Clean @StopToxics]

Harcros Chemical in Kansas City, KS released a shocking 4,282 lbs of ethylene oxide in 2021 & ships the chemical by railcar through neighboring EJ communities.

EPA should require the facility to consider safer alternatives & lower emissions via the RMP & CMAS rules.

This weekend @BetolMartinez participated in a plenary panel at the @ncelenviro #NCEL2023 to ensure that the proposed legislation centers and prioritizes environmental justice communities.

At #NCEL2023 we’re hearing about state policies to close the #EV charging infrastructure gap in an equitable manner. We learned about state policies to accelerate the deployment of charging infrastructure from @IBEW, @NRDC, @BetolMartinez (@MoKanCAN).

Cleaner trains are the reason @The_MFN is in DC this week 🚂

Rail in this US is powered by #diesel. But it doesn’t need to be this way. One-third of the world’s rail lines are #electric!

It’s time for Congress & @EPA to bring the US up to speed.
