RIGHT NOW: rally at Chicago City Hall to protest judge now allowing General Iron shredder to operate on Southeast Side. Oscar Sanchez @ASEChicago, former hunger striker: “My heart hurts to be here talking about General Iron again.”
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
Environmental justice advocates are holding a presser at City Hall against a decision by an administrative judge to overturn the city’s denial of General Iron’s permit for the controversial Southeast Side metal shredding facility. Mayor Johnson says he’ll appeal the decision.
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!
