Randy Thill signed The Dirty Business Of Turning This Latino Farmworker Town Into A Toxic Wasteland 2013-10-09 13:10:51 -0700It is very important that the chemical waste areas around Kettleman City be investigated and given higher safety requirements …with refusal to allow enlargement until they have proven that they are not endangering citizens of the area with their management practices. Do not allow them a larger area to contaminate more land and citizens until they are capable of running the area they already have responsibly.
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.

Randy Thill signed Side With Justice Over Racism! 2012-04-26 06:49:14 -0700it’s time to find ways to work with the imigrates so that their stay in this country can become legal….not keep them out forever or remove them. Make rules that benefit us all, not just the hate mongers.
Side With Justice Over Racism!
The United States Supreme Court is hearing arguments in Arizona v. United States, the Obama administration’s challenge to Arizona’s anti-immigration law, SB1070. What they won't be hearing is what and who has fueled this discriminatory legislation.
Will justice triumph over racial profiling and discrimination fueled by supremacist and nativist fringe groups? We need to stand together in this most pressing time.
We need to show that together we reject this hate agenda.Sign the pledge stating that YOU side with justice over racism!
