| Bill,
Across the country, the health and well-being of everyday people are being disregarded for political games and corporate profit.
But knowledge is a power, and understanding the problem is the best first action in fighting back.
The fossil fuel industry doesn't want you to know how their pollution is affecting your body -- from asthma in children and heart disease to preterm births and other health conditions affecting every age.
Join us on February 18 to hear the truth, get your questions answered, and learn how to fight back.
You'll hear from:
Dr. Laalitha Surapaneni, an internal medicine physician, will explain, in plain language, how fossil fuel pollution affects every organ in your body and share her experience traveling 1,200 miles across the Southwest to document the industry's health impacts.
Manning Rollerson, a frontline community leader and founder of the Freeport Haven Project, based in Brazoria County, Texas, who is fighting the expansion of the Freeport LNG (aka methane-fracked gas) facility due to environmental and safety concerns. He’ll share personal stories about how these projects have already harmed his family and community and continue to make them sicker
Claire Dorner, a policy expert at the Sierra Club, will outline the legislation states are passing to make polluters pay for their damage and lies, and how to get involved in the fights we know we can win.
What you'll leave with:
-
Specific questions to ask your local officials about fossil fuel permits
-
Tools to talk about this crisis with your family, neighbors, and community
-
Next steps to join our "Make Polluters Pay" campaign -- a campaign specifically working to hold these polluters accountable
This is a 60-minute livestream you don't want to miss. And, we'll be sure to share the recording with all registrants who can't make it live. |
