Freedom to Breathe: Conversations about Environmental Justice in the Twin Cities

Please register (not required!) ahead so we know numbers and can stay in touch about this event.

In our pursuit of solidarity, justice, and equity for all, fights for environmental justice illuminate collaborative paths toward a better future. Twin Cities environmental justice leaders across St. Paul and Minneapolis will lead a conversation about using our collective power to hold industrial polluters accountable.

This event takes place on the tenth day of a hunger strike led by the Zero Burn Coalition to catalyze the closure of the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center, a trash incinerator in North Minneapolis that has harmed residents for nearly four decades.

We will also hear from community members on the front lines, including activists fighting Northern Iron, an industrial foundry located next to residential homes in a low-income, racially diverse neighborhood on Saint Paul’s East Side.

Our borders do not define us. We all share a common struggle against environmental injustice. Join us for an evening of conversation, solidarity, and action.
