They'll sue so they can pollute. They'll break every rule & law. ⇩⇩⇩

"The company has proven again and again, not only that it is not a good neighbor, but that it does not consider itself bound by required environmental laws."

General Iron does not belong in Chicago!

[Clean the North Branch @clean_nb]

YES!

@Colleen2791 Reminder: your organization gave @chicagosmayor an award for her environmental work. Maybe take it away?

[Stop General Iron @stopgeneraliron]

@chicagosmayor listen to your city's citizens, not lobbyists:

"The South Side of Chicago is not a dumping ground. And we deserve to live in a healthy, safe, vibrant, thriving communities, just like residents of the North Side of the City." #denythepermit #stopgeneraliron

[Stop General Iron @stopgeneraliron]

While the fight won't continue in court, we must continue to show @chicagosmayor that the people & community do not want General Iron

It's going to take all of us @CHIhungerstrike @IndivChi_South @chi_sscbp @clean_nb & more - we can't stop now #denythepermit #stopgeneraliron

If it isn't good enough for the Northside, it isn't good enough for the Southeast side. #DenyThePermit #StopGeneralIron

BIG UPDATE: Feds hone in on Emanuel administration’s role in General Iron move https://t.co/9DKNJ6kltm via @SunTimes

[Clean the North Branch @clean_nb]

@stopgeneraliron @chicagosmayor @RepRobinKelly @GovPritzker We know first-hand how General Iron has violated rules and regulations for years. It shouldn't be allowed to pollute another Chicago neighborhood.

[Clean the North Branch @clean_nb]

Activists are now well into the second week of a hunger strike, yet @chicagosmayor remains silent. Every day that passes, more lives are put at risk #DenyThePermit #StopGeneralIron.

We are fighting to stop General Iron's move to the Southeast side because adding yet another polluter to a community already burdened by other industrial companies in the area is unconscionable. @CHIhungerstrike, we support you. #StopGeneralIron #DenyThePermit

[Stop General Iron @stopgeneraliron]

Thank you @RepBobbyRush for helping us #stopgeneraliron.

We are still waiting to hear from our congresswoman, @RepRobinKelly. Call @RepRobinKelly today and ask her to tell @chicagosmayor to #denythepermit

JUST IN: A federal housing official told U.S. prosecutors in Washington last fall that they should investigate Chicago’s zoning and land use practices because he believed there was a likelihood the city violated federal law. https://t.co/EkkxuX4XCu

[Clean the North Branch @clean_nb]

@GovPritzker & @anacaprana, suspend the permit you granted!

We lived with General Iron for years and no community, especially the SE side, deserves a polluter like it.

#stopgeneraliron #denythepermits

[Stop General Iron @stopgeneraliron]

📢 We need your help! 📢
The Biden Admin is investigating @GovPritzker for issuing a permit to General Iron.

We call on @GovPritzker to SUSPEND THE PERMIT until the investigation is complete & findings released.

Join us by tweeting that to @GovPritzker & his COS @anacaprana!

[Clean the North Branch @clean_nb]

@N4EJchicago @aldcardenas Ironic it is the same day comments are due for General Iron.

[Clean the North Branch @clean_nb]

[Clean the North Branch @clean_nb]

This is far from victory. General Iron should not be allowed to operate in another neighborhood, especially not on the Southeast side.

@chicagosmayor should #denythepermits & #stopgeneraliron.
