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.

Investigate The Maricopa County Elections Department
Add signatureThe Maricopa County Elections Department Is Spreading Misinformation On Their Spanish Language Voting Literature.
Sign the petition to demand an investigation of the Maricopa County Elections Department! This is a blatant attack on the voter rights of Latinos in Maricopa County. If the Elections Department falls short in admitting that this is fraud, they must at least be investigated for these detrimental mistakes!
