On Friday, a massive chemical fire erupted at the Marathon Petroleum Refinery in Louisiana's "Cancer Alley". As our partners and clients @CCOStJohn & @RISEStJames have said, local communities deserve transparency & accountability. It's time to put people first.

@PublicLab runs great barnraisings, which are similar. One fave activity is people producing a simple one page newspaper each day by people just drawing/writing on one poster paper what they learned or humorous tidbits. Photo taken and copies printed to hand out.

Hey Public Lab community, seems like you might have things to say on landscapes of risk and geographic vs scientific ways of knowing, check out this call for #AAG2023:
📢 Call for papers for #AAG2023. We’re organising a panel for everyone researching disasters to have been told their work isn’t real ‘science’! Non-real scientists unite in sending us your abstracts on your weird and wonderful research please.

Important news from the White House office of Science and Technology Policy: whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upd…
Federally funded research should be freely accessible to the American public. From environmental justice to cancer breakthroughs to more sustainable farming, immediate access to America’s research jumpstarts innovation everywhere.

The @EPA is launching the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights, truly elevating environmental justice to the highest levels of the agency. Years of hard work from activists all over the country have brought us to this.
