Letter-writing for Cleaner Air in Houston

As Houstonians, we all are exposed to air pollution, but citizens living in Southeast Houston are greatly impacted by industrial air toxics. Children in those neighborhoods are particularly affected, having a much higher risk of developing leukemia.

You will have an opportunity this Sunday to send a letter to your city council member urging support of Mayor White's proposal to add air pollution standards to the City's nuisance ordinance. Please stop by Channing Hall to sign a prepared letter or write your own. Names and address of council members will be available.
