We’re proud of our collective work to make our region a healthier and more equitable place to live.
Because of our members’ work, the lifetime cancer risk from environmental benzene exposure in neighborhoods around Tonawanda Coke is 10 times less than it was a decade ago. Tonawanda Coke and Battaglia Demolition have both been held accountable for their disregard for public health. Our organizing resulted in the start of the removal of toxic contamination in Delavan-Grider. And Tesla workers organizing for job security have our full support.
Our work saves lives and changes our communities for the better. But we know that it is far from done. The Huntley Coal Plant, Tonawanda Coke, and Battaglia Demolition are all closed. Now we ask ourselves, what will we build?
In 2020, we will organize to create jobs through projects that strengthen our climate resilience; reclaim and rehabilitate toxic land; and continue to grow a base of power that places communities at the forefront of decision making.
We will root ourselves, our values and our community to make the biggest impact we can. Clean Air’s year-end fundraising campaign to raise $50K to Root Our Resilience will get us there. Will you join us by investing today? For the last decade, Clean Air and our members have accomplished the “impossible.” People like you make it possible for us to defy the odds.
When you give right now - your gift will go twice as far. Yes, you read that right. Every dollar contributed will be matched dollar-for-dollar.
Thank you for joining us in the fight for a strong and just region.
Together, we will build a future and home that we’re proud of.
