Dear friend,
The New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance wants to invite you to participate in the workshop titled “Change the Game”. This workshop will take place on October 22, 2011, between 9:30 AM. And 2:00 PM., at Essex County College Siegler Hall Room 2132. The workshop will introduce a municipal ordinance to advance the cause of environmental justice and address the issue of cumulative environmental/health impacts.
For too long community members have had to fight unwanted and unhealthy sitings of polluting facilities one at a time. The need to create an overarching framework that empowers residents in such fights has been apparent for years. There is a clear need for the totality of polluting facilities in a community/municipality to be factored into the decision making process. Community members/residents need a mechanism to hold developers accountable with measurable outcomes and performance standards. The municipal ordinance that lies at the heart of the above mentioned workshop addresses these issues.
We hope to see you there.
Sincerely Henry Rose Henry Rose Statewide Coordinator New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance
