10 de octubre “¿Qué está pasando en los Apalaches?”
Este pasado junio, Clean Air envió una delegación de miembros a Appalachia para reunirse con miembros del Coalfield Environmental Health Project, una organización comunitaria compuesta por residentes que viven cerca de los sitios de minería a cielo abierto en Beards Fork,Virginia del Oeste.
Para 3 dias, our members learned first hand how residents are fighting coal companies who strip their land and pollute their wells and water sources.
The Coalfield Environmental Health Project was chosen as a sister group due to their experience successfully organizing around the connections between health and pollution. Residents who live near surface mining sites show a higher rate of heart disease, respiratory problems, cancer and birth defects.
On October 10th, our delegates will share their stories and what they learned during this intense and transformative experience.
Join us at 6pm at the River Rd. Volunteer Fire Hall (39 Kaufman Ave. Tonawanda NY 14150)
