OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS: WE SAY NO! MDEGLE gave it's stamp of approval to expand US ECOLOGY NORTH a hazardous waste treatment plant in Detroit on January 20, 2020, after four years of robust community protest. YES WE DID: The City of Detroit adopted the terms that the plant must agree to - the Host Community Agreement (HCA). "No Fracking Waste" Rerouting of trucks away from the neighborhoods nearby Quarterly meetings with the community The Host Community Agreement has a section that the plant can expand or change the kind of waste it takes in with a simple written note 30 days in advance. This will undermine the fight that the community has been waging for so many years. We must remain vigilant: WE HAVE RENAMED AND REFOCUSED OUR COALITION: DETROIT HAMTRAMCK COALITION FOR ADVANCING HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS dhcoaltion4ahe@gmail.com https://detroithamtramckcoalition.weebly.com/ THANK YOU to EVERYONE who added your voice to this protest to protect our community.
