TCDSA’s Environmental Justice group works with communities around the Twin Cities to ensure that they have the ability to produce equitable and meaningful outcomes to improve their health, well-being and make their communities more livable for everyone regardless of their background.
The following are our initiatives for this year and we welcome anyone who is interested to reach out and get involved!
Shut Down HERC – a campaign to remove the trash burner that is polluting vulnerable communities in Minneapolis and transition to a zero-waste, climate-friendly economy.
Twin Cities Boulevard / Rethinking I-94 – a campaign to remove the freeway that destroyed and polluted neighborhoods across the Twin Cities and to replace it with an economically and environmentally just alternative.
