Description

If you’re not going to fight for your community, then who is? Residents of the Southeast Side came together when a car-shredding facility planned to move its factory to their neighborhood. But with General Iron behind them, what’s left to do in the fight for clean air and water on the Southeast Side? Reset talks to two local residents: Gina Ramirez, Midwest outreach manager for the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Vanessa Bly, co-founder of Bridges // Puentes Justice Collective about their work to improve the lives and health of their neighbors.
