Community Organizing for Environmental Justice on Saint Paul’s West Side

The Sierra Club is seeking to ensure a proposed new sewage incinerator near the West Side neighborhood of Saint Paul is an environmentally just decision. Together with the West Side Community Organization, the Sierra Club is supporting west siders and people across the Metro in joining together to ensure the community has a seat at table. Add your name to stay informed!

On the West Side, generation after generation has been exposed to environmental hazards, air pollution, and being treated as a dumping ground for toxic waste.

West siders know it’s no coincidence that across the country and right here at home, polluters set up shop in neighborhoods where immigrants, Black and brown folks, and working class people live– assuming we won’t speak out. But, we have the right to be part of the decisions that impact the health and future of our families.

Join us in ensuring the proposed new sewage incinerator is an environmentally justice decision.

Sierra Club Healthy Communities is allying with community organizations to fight back against the historic exclusion of communities of color from public decision-making processes. When we build solidarity and listen to impacted community organizations, we have the power to hold public agencies accountable to equitable decision making.

Add your name and information to help us create environmental justice.
