This just in from Voice of Gowanus!
Last week Voice of Gowanus, held a press conference with Walter Hang of Toxics Targeting. He is an expert who has spent weeks studying all the toxic sites in and around the Gowanus Canal and has drafted an extensive report showing that the current plan to remediate these sites is totally inadequate and will create a massive health and safety issue for those who current live nearby and any new residents that might move here in the future.
We at CG CORD would encourage you to watch the video of the entire news conference since there are two neighbors who gave very compelling statements!
Voice of Gowanus is currently collecting signatures on a coalition letter to NYS Governor Hochul, asking her to clean up the uplands surrounding the Gowanus Canal to the full extent of the law, which states that the State has to remove ALL of the pollution.
Please sign the letter and have everyone you know sign. They do not need to live in the neighborhood. Even out of state people can sign. So ask your partners, your kids and all your neighbors.
We need everyone to lend their voice to this action.
Thank you so much in advance,
Katia
