Great article by @brettchase looking at data provided by @N4EJchicago’s #IneffectiveByChoice report showing the failed enforcement of polluting facilities most of which are located in working class communities of color https://t.co/tNwMkgGpBB

[Neighbors for Environmental Justice (N4EJ) @N4EJchicago]

Today we are releasing a report on Chicago's enforcement of environmental laws.

It analyzes two decades of previously unpublished data from the Dept of Administrative Hearings, put in context by inspection reports, settlements and emails.

[Beyond Plastics @PlasticsBeyond]

This is an excellent, thorough, easy to follow explanation of what's happening with Big Plastic's favorite new false solution, "chemical" or "advanced recycling". Bravo, @oil_watch https://t.co/CWFdlrEmuq @enckj @JustZeroOrg

Gov. Pritzker asked to delay sale of Damen Silos https://t.co/uvYzH7hWum

[Chicago Tribune Opinion @chitribopinions]

The rushed sale of the Damen Silos is a potential threat to the community's health that we can’t ignore since its impacts can be felt for decades to come, board president of @N4EJchicago writes.

After three years of speaking out, a Southwest Side Chicago mom prevails in her fight over flaking lead paint on viaduct passageways where children cross to get to school. https://t.co/AhquJQQ98B

[Rampant Magazine @rampantmag]

The city of Chicago was built upon the settler colonial dispossession of Indigenous peoples and lands. That history of conflict, violence, and struggle continues into the present.

Gina Ramirez, Senior Advisor for @se_taskforce led off our press conference today as housing and environmental justice organizations urged Lightfoot to cooperate with HUD investigation on Chicago’s history of racist land use practices to not risk millions in federal housing funds

These are unacceptable learning conditions. No student should have to worry about inhaling dangerous emissions while they are in school.

"[Local landowners & farmers have] connected with Sierra Club and other residents and advocates, who over the spring and summer have worked hard to raise awareness about Navigator’s plans and carbon dioxide pipeline concerns."

Thanks to @Global_Witness, we know environmental defenders have been killed, on average, every other day for a decade. This may be the most basic environmental crisis, because we can't solve the others if we don't protect those on the front line. https://t.co/oRdTX3qgVc

Stop calling Manchin’s #dirtydeal “permitting reform.” That euphemistic, casually supportive statement sometimes conjured in the same sentence as transmission or clean energy erases the truth that if the deal were a meal, its main course would be fossil fuels.
