BREAKING: This is what environmental racism looks like. @MassDOT & @MassDEP are stockpiling asbestos debris in the EJ community of Chelsea, near a public housing development. EJ communities are not sacrifice zones! Read the full statement by our ED Roseann Bongiovanni ⬇️ We are in utmost frustration, disgust and disbelief that the State of Massachusetts has contributed to further environmental racism and classism for the already disproportionately burdened environmental justice community of Chelsea.

The #MA legislature is considering a critical bill that would protect & empower communities disproportionately impacted by air pollution & environmental hazards. Specifically, An Act Relative to Environmental Justice in the Commonwealth will: ➡️ Protect communities from more pollution by expanding the requirements for state government environmental review to include potential for equitable outcomes when deciding whether to prohibit polluting projects and approve benefits, such as expanded green spaces and resources.
