We are group of people building power on the Southeast Side of Chicago. We like to fight the Koch brothers, create healthy spaces for our kids, and laugh.
We don’t want General Iron dumped on us. It’s an extremely dangerous polluter that adds to the long list of polluters that have accumulated in the SE Side. Enough is enough #FightForOurHealth

“@SenatorDurbin, @SenDuckworth & @RepRobinKelly are again listening to neighbors on the SE Side. We hope the EPA will listen to them and take action to use the full weight and force of the federal government to address the dangerous manganese operations" https://t.co/4B6fnnTW6L
the groups “strongly oppose a premature commitment to a renewable energy goal for Chicago without an equal commitment to” addressing the current environmental and public health threats on the city’s South and West Sides.https://t.co/Y7kpyrdEse

Chicagoland, please view:
'Former workers, who do not want to be identified, accused the company of improperly dumping ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol. One former Sterigenics worker said the chemical would be washed directly into the factory drains'

Please share far and wide...we have another Mn - Manganese - handler that can not contain their toxic Mn on their premises and its putting workers and families at risk #WeDeserveBetter#NotInAnybodysBackyard
@SSCBP1 @coachegge @ivannrdc @ABC7Chicago We stand in solidarity with your organization and all the residents of the SEside.
Its almost 2019; you would think that by now Chicago DPD would respect evidence and the will of the residents, but instead we get the discriminatory 'industrial corridor modernization program'
@N4EJchicago @coachegge @ivannrdc @ABC7Chicago We are determined to oppose General Iron at every point in the approval process and, if necessary, every day thereafter.
The EPA found dangerous levels of brain-damaging manganese near another storage facility on Chicago's Southeast Side. More than 200 children live near the Watco Transloading site, where levels of the toxin spiked five times higher than safety limits. https://t.co/meVCrl9h9s
