Eradicate Superfund Sites Across Chicago - Fund Cleanup!


Eradicate Superfund Sites Across Chicago - Fund Cleanup!
The Issue
Superfund sites, or toxic waste sites, are places marked by the EPA which a large amount of toxic waste has spilled. Factories which can cause these waste spills are often stuck in places deemed "sacrifice zones" owing to their being an unfairly unvalued area (infuenced by socio-economic factors); lower-income neighborhoods are often more affected by these superfunds. Toxic waste causes a plethora of health issues, including cancer and birth defects, and unfortunately, there are a whopping 3 in the zip code 60608. Unaffected, the waste will slip into waterways and toxify the liquid that keeps us alive. We can do better in Chicago! Sign to push Alderman Sigcho-Lopez of the 25th ward to take further action and fund the cleaning-up of these catalysts for environmental disaster.
