The Dirty Business Of Turning This Latino Farmworker Town Into A Toxic Wasteland
**Update via The Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment
Last Friday we submitted over 4,900 signatures and comments to the Department of Toxic Substances Control letting them know we aren't ok with Kettleman City being our state's dumping ground! Thank you to everyone who signed and the folks at Cuéntame for speaking up for what is right. We will keep you posted on the future of the dump's permit to expand by a whopping 50% (it is already the largest hazardous waste dump this side of the Mississippi River!)
Kettleman City is a rural, majority Latino and farmworker community halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is home to the largest hazardous waste dump this side of the Mississippi and to shockingly high rates of childhood cancer, birth defects and miscarriages - two facts residents believe to be connected. WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO EXPOSÉ.

Les Rees signed If You Don't Speak Up, They Will Speak For You... 2013-02-22 16:49:55 -0800I live in Arizona. The great majority of our Latino residents are legal, law-abiding citizens. The authorities here continually harass and embarrass these good citizens. I grew up with Hispanic friends. Why are johnny-come-lately jerks from places like Alabama and Ohio making life hard for my friends? The answer is because they expected to live always with people who look just like themselves. These racist creeps should be forced to move back to their icky, white enclaves.
