We thank the Warren County Board of Commissioners for their Resolution Proclaiming September 2024 as "Natural Resources Appreciation Month" in Warren County, NC, the Birthplace of the Environmental Justice Movement.
Here is an updated list of film festival screenings. We’re so pleased that so many get to see this documentary about our #EnvironmentalJustice movement by @UMSouthDocs
Congrats 🎉 to @UMSouthDocs on winning Best Feature Length Film 🎥 at the 2024 Social and Economic Justice Film Festival. We are thrilled others are hearing and learning about our #EnvironmentalJustice story. https://t.co/1reHCqBa0s
A belated post to share our condolences on the passing of Rev. Willie T. Ramey III. Rev. Ramey was one of the ministers who got involved early in the Warren County struggle against a PCB landfill back in 1978 when dump site was announced. https://t.co/JavF5Skm75
We mourn the passing of Rev. Fred D. Taylor, who was a fixture at our 1982 PCB protests. He is an unsung hero of the civil rights movement and was one of many @NationalSCLC who loaned their expertise to our grassroots #EnviromentalJustice movement.
Rest in power, Reverend Fred D. Taylor! Rev and Taylor was a fearless crusader for justice and equality, Who’s example is one of pure self sacrifice for the upliftment of others! My deepest condolences are extended to his family, affiliations, and the community that loves him
