Why this petition matters
Started by Environmental Advocate
A chemical that isn’t made anywhere else in the WORLD is coming to Orangeburg, South Carolina- a majority black, rural area in the “Corridor of Shame.”
A chemical
- with the same dioxins as AGENT ORANGE
- BANNED in 152 countries
- risking CANCER for 1 in every 1000 workers
- not made anywhere in America
- that isn’t necessary for anything and has cleaner, safer alternatives
The only way to stop big companies from dumping on the black community is to give voice to the environmental injustice! Help us tell the legislators that people are watching!
Do your job. Get out of big corporate pockets.
BAN PENTACHLOROPHENOL in black communities like Orangeburg, SC.
