In solidarity with the Southeast community in Chicago. Stop General Iron, again 😒 #DenyThePermit

[David McEllis @DavidMcEllis]

Last week, an administrative law judge sided with General Iron's challenge to the city's permit denial. The shredder wants to move into the Southeast side, an area already suffering the ill effects of pollution. Today advocates spoke out against that decision!

It’s incredibly powerful to hear the people’s chants of Stop General Iron ring off the walls of city hall. The people will win from Chicago to Atlanta we will put people first and #StopGeneralIron and #StopCopCity

Wasserman: "Too many of our families have been sacrificed for the sake of businesses as usual." #EnoughisEnough #StopGeneralIron

[IEC @ilenviro]

Now speaking is @LVEJO exec. dir. Kim Wasserman: "The HUD complaint was clear. Chicago has a broken permitting process, a broken citing process and a broken zoning process that needs to be fixed."

Enough is enough. Join us tomorrow at City Hall 📣 #StopGeneralIron

[Neighbors for Environmental Justice (N4EJ) @N4EJchicago]

As the city appeals this decision, we can't help but think they might have a stronger case about General Iron's history of violations

if they had not dropped the charges for *36 different violations* in a two year period

requiring no admission of liability.

Mayor Brandon Johnson disagrees with ruling that operator should’ve been permitted for General Iron move to Southeast Side, will appeal judge’s decision and fight the case. Johnson has closely allied with movement on this fight, including having Olga Bautista on inaugural stage

[trinity amari colón @trinityxac]

i have no words for this disgusting decision. know that the southeast side is resilient & united in all struggles. you all can expect our resistance, pressure & presence very soon. just another reminder that institutions will never keep us safe. only we do.

RMG is taking a victory lap at the expense of our community’s well-being. We aren’t stopping until the permit is denied once and for all.

[Gregory Royal Pratt @royalpratt]

The operator that wanted to move General Iron to Southeast Side is celebrating a judge’s ruling that Mayor Lightfoot improperly denied their permit. The decision will re-ignite battle over the company wanting to operate in 10th ward

[Marcie Pedraza @sparkymarcie]

La lucha sigue! #chingonasummer

[#StopGeneralIron Hunger Strike @CHIhungerstrike]

It’s unconscionable for this administrative judge to overturn the decision to deny the permit. The Southeast Side made it clear that General Iron was not welcome in our backyard. Agencies such as @HUDgov and @EPA even deemed the proposed move an act of environmental racism.
