Please join the Delaware River Valley Community, NJ Tri-County Sustainability and SustainabilityNow for a free online screening of "The Sacrifice Zone — An Industrial Wasteland." Sacrifice zones are often “fenceline communities” of low-income and people of color, or “hot spots” of chemical pollution where residents live immediately adjacent to heavily polluted industries or military bases. Quite often, this pattern of unequal protection constitutes environmental racism.
Time: Feb 18, 2021 07:00 PM Eastern (US and Canada).
Click here to register: http://bit.ly/Sacrifice-ZoneThe Ironbound district of Newark, New Jersey, is one of the most toxic neighborhoods in the country. Maria Lopez-Nuñez, a Honduran-American resident there, is waging a war for environmental justice. She is part of the Ironbound Community Corporation, one of the most effective environmental justice organizations in the country. The Sacrifice Zone follows Maria as she leads a group of environmental justice fighters determined to break the cycle of poor communities of color serving as dumping grounds for our consumer society.
After the film, we'll be discussing the groundbreaking environmental justice legislation recently passed in New Jersey that requires the cumulative environmental and public health impact of all facilities in any community before granting permits for new industrial or waste facilities.
We'll also focus on how citizen support helped to get this law passed, how you can use it as a blueprint for legislation in other states and what local organizers can do now that it exists.
Time: Feb 18, 2021 07:00 PM Eastern (US and Canada).
