Black, Brown and Indigenous communities across Illinois have experienced generations of concentrated, toxic industrial pollution at the hands of dirty industry, greenlighted by state and local governing bodies.
Through budgeting, redlining, voter suppression, public meetings laws, zoning laws, and other means, systemic racism has shaped land use practices in environmental justice (EJ) communities-- often BIPOC and working class-- resulting in devastating rates of pollution and costly, chronic health impacts.
Join us in calling on the Illinois General Assembly to take meaningful action during this legislative session to upend the dangerous legacy of environmental racism in this state!
