Long story short: tell our EPA to protect communities from the hazards of vinyl chloride, and tell a Texas county to stop reclassifying Native American history as "fiction." Use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs to communicate your will.
The Hip Hop Caucus helps you tell our Environmental Protection Agency (or EPA) to protect communities from the evils of vinyl chloride. You remember vinyl chloride from its featured role in the East Palestine (OH) train disaster in early 2023? Well, our EPA has already designated vinyl chloride as a "high priority chemical," and scientists have told us vinyl chloride causes cancer. And the corporations manufacturing vinyl chloride tend to neglect communities they displace of build through, hence we demand that our government step in. You think corporations will do the right thing on their own? Ha ha ha corporations are like children without the charm.
The National Campaign for Justice helps you tell Montgomery County (TX) to stop reclassifying Native American history as fiction. Just when I think they can't sink any lower! Montgomery County told libraries to stick Colonization and the Wampanoag Story in the fiction section, though it is actual history written by an actual historian, after secretly creating a "Citizens Review Committee" and keeping actual librarians off said "committee." I guess the exercise was "say 'we never oppressed Native Americans' without actually saying it." But too many assholes already tell too many of us that our lived experience and heritage is fiction, so how about we prevent a local government from getting away with that particular evil?
