Hi all –

Please see short social on the Guardian story from today detailing the pressing health risk of coal ash in Uniontown, AL that came up on the Pruitt coordinating call this morning. Please amplify if you can – let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Marcy

• Denied:  Residents of predominantly African American Uniontown, Alabama filed a civil rights claim against the @EPA for the coal ash dump outside their town. @EPAScottPruitt just denied it. #PollutingPruitt http://bit.ly/2FrnCKP
• @EPAScottPruitt is allowing environmental racism to persist despite claiming to value environmental justice and prosecute polluters. #PollutingPruitt is putting the families of Uniontown at risk. http://bit.ly/2FrnCKP
• Unacceptable: @EPA enforcement is at its lowest level in a decade under @EPAScottPruitt’s leadership, and communities of color are bearing the brunt of toxic pollution. #PollutingPruitt http://bit.ly/2FrnCKP
• The mercury and arsenic found in coal ash can increase the risk of cancer, but the citizens of Uniontown, Alabama aren’t getting any help from @EPAScottPruitt. #PollutingPruitt http://bit.ly/2FrnCKP
• Tragic: Environmental racism in Uniontown, Alabama with people facing increased risk of cancer due to pollution. Shameful: No help, no protection from @EPA.  #PollutingPruitt http://bit.ly/2FrnCKP
