Delicate yet strong, a spider’s web reminds us that nothing exists in isolation. Through the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil that nourishes our food, we are all connected. What happens to one part of the web affects us all.

This Labor Day, we remember that the fight for safe, dignified work is inseparable from the fight for environmental justice.

From workers tragically killed at the Hamlet chicken plant fire to farmworkers facing deadly heat and [ exposure, North Carolina has a long history of workers organizing for safer conditions, fair wages, and the right to come home from work healthy.

These fights are connected, and we are building power together to create an economy where no one has to sacrifice their health or dignity for a paycheck.

With Monsanto v. Durnell, the Supreme Court made it harder to hold pesticide companies accountable for the harm their products cause. Two proposed bills could help restore that accountability, and put people before pesticide industry profits. Check out the link in Toxic Free North Carolina bio to voice your support. 🌱

🚨 Do not let EPA silence communities.

EPA is proposing to eliminate minimum public participation for many “minor source” air pollution permits—including permits often used for diesel backup generators at data centers. That could mean no opportunity for communities to speak up before new pollution sources are approved.

📢 Communities deserve a voice in decisions that affect their air and health. Tell EPA: Keep public participation requirements in place. The last day to submit written comments is August 21. See link in Toxic Free North Carolina bio.
