Virtual Panel Webinar: The Future of Superfund Sites

EVENT DETAILS
When: Wednesday, December 6, 2023 from 4:30-5:30 PM ET


Where: Zoom Video Conferencing
What:
Too often communities are left cleaning up the mess in their own backyards that polluters leave. A recent law has helped change that.

Join Community Action Works and USPIRG Education Fund to talk about how the reinstatement of the “polluter pays” tax has invigorated the Superfund program allowing more toxic sites to be cleaned up including sites in the Northeast.

Join the virtual panel to learn more about the report and its findings, the organizing work around Superfund sites, and the policy surrounding the Superfund program. After panelist presentations, we will have a Q&A session where you can ask questions to the panelists and learn more about the program.

Panelists include: 

  • Lisa Frank - Executive Director, Environment America
  • Danielle Melgar - Food & Agriculture Advocate, PIRG
  • Andrew Simon - Friends of the Barge Canal, Burlington, Vermont
