#Rubbertown toxics have been begging the question for ages, do black lives matter when business as usual counts on it? #Kentucky #ClimateAction is #environmentaljustice
African American activists in Louisville, Kentucky have been fighting blatant environmental injustice for decades. It’s time we recognize their struggle and amplify their voices.

Our work continues at the Campground Road Natural Area where we’ve planted nearly 200 trees over the last few months. These are part of our commitment to add 10,000 trees in the Rubbertown area over the next three years.

@WR_Record @globeandmail @PolingRecord @IBL_Panthers And I should say the reporting on #RubberTown will continue, as will my work on occupational disease for the #Michener-Deacon fellowship. Those stories will run in @WR_Record and TorStar in the coming months.
Also a special congrats to fellow Michener Awards nominee @MercerRecord who was awarded one of the Michener-Deacon fellowship for his continuing series #Rubbertown in the @WR_Record.
I’m so happy for the @MichenerPrize recognition for the #RubberTown series, and the extra attention to the health concerns of Waterloo Region’s rubber workers.
This stunning story by @MercerRecord from Kitchener Waterloo Record on the toxic legacy of workers in the rubber industry and how the system meant to help was doing far too little for victims. 5/ https://t.co/60m5L38gP9

"There's way too many for it to be normal." Rubber workers, families want answers about #cancer cluster in Kitchener plants #RubberTown https://t.co/hyQxi5t1lj
Over a hundred new #WSIB claims for occupational disease were registered by former Kitchener rubber workers this morning at information session, with dozens more coming through the door. Session runs until 8pm, and back at 9-3pm tomorrow. #RubberTown.
“In the past, occupational disease was often misunderstood,” says MOL’s chief prevention officer Ron Kelusky. “People often didn’t realize their work could make the sick.” #RubberTown
