So proud of the decades long tradition of authentic youth led research and action for environmental justice in our community. We have big challenges but our vision and belief is much greater.

Thanks to everyone who continues to believe and act on their belief that communities have a right to shape their own development no matter how steep the odds or how deep the history of injustice. We're doing this together. Watch now and get involved! youtu.be/iJZfHs7nI5c

Here's how much coal has piled up 1,000 feet from our homes and rec center since March 29th...still no action for #EnvironmentalJustice from @MDEnvironment following the Dec 14th report finding coal dust throughout our community. This is an everyday emergency.

We can't afford false starts for environmental justice given what's at stake. @SenBillFerg
"...the new bill couldn’t be invoked when the MDE considers an air pollution permit renewal for the CSX coal terminal...It also wouldn’t include renewals for the trash incinerator nearby in the Westport area, or the medical waste incinerator..." baltimoresun.com/2024/03/26/…

This change happened because community members and supporters are willing to step up and begin healing our community by addressing the root issues that continue to do active harm...like sending medical waste to be burned at an incinerator that regularly violates the law.
BREAKING: John’s Hopkins announces at today’s council hearing they’ll stop sending material to the Curtis Bay medical waste incinerator within 30 - 60 days in response to community calls for action following repeat violations by the facility owners!

Maryland regulators filed suit today against South Baltimore's medical waste incinerator over emissions violations, just months after operators of the facility agreed to pay $1.75M penalty for a litany of environmental violations. w/ @Dylan_Segelbaum thebaltimorebanner.com/commu…

It is time to close this facility and protect the health of the surrounding communities!
Community monitoring led to today's action. Now, we need 1) suspension of operations 2) institutions sending waste, cut ties 3) City Council, repeal 1990's law allowing importation of toxic medical waste from all of US and Canada. baltimoresun.com/2024/03/14/…

"I have always historically rejected the idea that waste-to-energy should be in the Renewable Portfolio. [But] process matters” Senate Pres Ferguson in 2021. @SenBillFerg, it's 2024! The process is complete! Will you hold a vote on SB146, the Reclaim Renewable Energy Act?

Passing the #ReclaimRenewable Energy Act in #mdga24 is within reach - but only if legislative leaders decide to schedule it for a vote! Please take 5 minutes today to make 4 phone calls - then email your own legislators here! cleanwater.org/md-rrea

Testified today for HB166, a bill to end renewable energy subsidies for trash incineration, which would free up millions of dollars to support true renewable energy. 11 colleagues and I on the Baltimore City Council signed a letter this week supporting this legislation.

Another violation at nation's largest medical waste incinerator caught by community monitoring. @PhyliciaPorter_ more info for the upcoming hearing. @GovWesMoore @MDEnvironment please reconsider dismissing @CommunityCurtis call for an environmental state of emergency.

Watch "Don't Displace Curtis Bay!" responding to a Mayoral candidate's call to consider the removal of an entire community and add you're voice to those standing up for all of our community's right to lead our own development. youtube.com/watch?v=0IAmGjDH…

Yes, Maryland continues to direct millions in subsidies to burning trash & calls it a renewable energy program. D46 residents have spent nearly a decade trying right this injustice. @SenBillFerg do you need any more info about how this policy makes our everyday lives worse?
🏭 Maryland is poised to waste over $300 million dollars subsidizing trash incineration between 2012 and 2030. These findings come days before the MD General Assembly is scheduled to hold its final hearing on the Reclaim Renewable Energy Act of 2024. peer.org/new-analysis-shows-…
