TOMORROW!
Press conference in downtown Buffalo this Thursday at 11 am! Citizens’ Environmental Coalition and the Toxic Waste/Lupus, along with a coalition of groups across New York State, will release a new report. “Environmental Racism in New York State”
When: Thursday, March 11, 2004 - 11:00 a.m.
Where: Outside the Donovan State Office Building
125 Main Street
Buffalo, NY
Why: The Department of Environmental Conservation’s Environmental Justice policy, while citing improvements in citizen participation in environmental justice communities, fails to correct current siting policy, which could continue the past practice of disproportionately
siting polluting facilities in communities of the poor. This practice causes certain segments of society to bear an unfair toxic burden.
Scheduled speakers include: Amy Liberatore, Citizens’ Environmental Coaltion; Judith Anderson, Toxic Waste / Lupus Coalition, and a representative from Erie County Legislator George (Butch) Holt’s office.
Supporters from Assemblymember Crystal Peoples’ office will also attend. CEC will provide signs for those who wish to hold one.
DIRECTIONS: Donovan Building, take Main Street all the way down to the “T” intersection (you can’t go any farther). Make a right turn and come down Washington. Donovan Building’s Washington entrance is just across from the Buffalo News building.
