THANK YOU! ❤️👏✊
The Global Week of Action was a true demonstration of the power and cross-regional solidarity of our network. GAIA and ZWE members around the world organized rallies, community events, press conferences, social media campaigns, webinars and so much more.
At the close of the week, we released a statement calling for the COP presidency and international financial institutions to keep the incinerator industry out of climate finance and policymaking.

Heritage Park deserves dignity and the #FreedomToBreathe
Kenya McKnight-Ahad says the city and state stepped up. Hennepin County has not.
Families are living with mold and a trash burner that runs on a legacy permit decades behind modern standards.

Hennepin County running a surveillance op against folks that have the temerity to think a toxic garbage burning facility doesn’t belong in their neighborhood.
Records show county staff surveilled community members and briefed HERC’s private operator on rallies, meetings and legislation.

LIVE: Community Rally Kicks Off Global Week of Action as Minneapolis Trash Burner Named in New Global Report on Incinerators. WATCH facebook.com/share/v/1RHdbTz… #NoBurn #mpls #FreedomToBreathe #RightToKnow
Oct 13-16 is Global Week of Action to Stop Incineration. HERC, the #Mpls trash burner, runs on a permit sometimes called “grandfathered.” Award-winning local writer Stephani Maari Booker put that history into words with her poem “Grandfathered.”

MNEJ staff and a statistics professor, calling out Hennepin County: Their report on health impacts only showed 6/26 census tracts near the HERC — leaving out data that would've told a different story about the real health risk. Why would they do this? #RightToKnow #mnleg

It's #PFASAwarenessWeek. The industry paid for a report claiming Minnesota's trash burners destroy 99.6% of PFAS. A former EPA scientist reran its numbers. The HERC trash burner could run over 2.5x modern standards. Another expert called it "a pretty poor study." (1/3) #mnleg
(2/3) The people have a right to know what's coming out of that smokestack. Tell Hennepin County: continuous monitoring, PFAS included, and modern emission limits. bit.ly/zbcdemands
(3/3) The Guardian reported experts see bad assumptions and missing data. A former DuPont PFAS scientist called it a "pretty poor study." theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

"How can you dare say that you're that giving people a right to pursue liberty when you are impacting their health?"
Neighbors deserve the #RightToKnow what's coming out of the #mpls burner AND how the rules are rigged against our health.

"They will condemn a house that has lead. Why not condemn the HERC? It's putting the same thing out in the air."
We deserve the right to know what the burner is putting into our bodies.
