On a related note, la American Lung Association recently released a report about air quality ranked by region nationwide. The Buffalo-Niagara metro area is neither included on the very worst or very best lists, but nearby Rochester is ranked as some of the cleanest air in the nation. Unfortunately this report also finds that 1 en 3 Americans now breathes unhealthy air, largely due to the rapid increase in wildfires caused by climate change.

We were saddened to hear that Shirley Hamilton, a Niagara Falls leader and champion for labor, racial justice and environmental justice, passed on March 26. Read her obituary by clicking here, y donate to the scholarship fund being established in her name by clicking here.

like the fight for a just clean up along River Road in Tonawanda or of the American Axle Facility in Delavan-Grider. Reporters at Grist.org recently wrote an excellent piece on how this hidden threat is being worsened by climate change – check it out by clicking here!

We are inspired by the work of Cherokee Concerned Citizens, which represents a fenceline community in Pascagoula, Mississippi less than two miles away from Chevron’s Pascagoula refinery. This small group is suing the EPA for allowing Chevron to make new plastic-based fuels, which could carry a 1-in-4 lifetime cancer risk for residents near the refinery. Read more by clicking here.
