The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission (PVSC) meeting has been rescheduled to June 12th at 12PM via Zoom - not June 19th!
We need your voice now more than ever. Join us to demand that PVSC Commissioners VOTE NO on yet another dirty, dangerous power plant in the Ironbound section of Newark -a community already overburdened by pollution and environmental injustice.
The proposed gas/hydrogen plant would be the FOURTH polluting facility in the area. It's supposedly a "backup" option, but even FEMA says it shouldnβt be used in storm events. So who really benefits? Other alternatives are available, as outlined in this report, including our energy operators, Pennsylvania Jersey Maryland (PJM) putting more readily available renewable energy on the grid.
ποΈ Hear the truth from Chloe Desir (Environmental Justice Policy Analyst, Ironbound Community Corporation) and Paula Rogovin (NJ activist & retired United Federation of Teachers (UFT) member) on WBAI as they break down whatβs really at stake and how it connects to broader environmental and transportation issues. Panel beginning at 36 minutes: https://www.wbai.org/archive/program/episode/?id=57951
