\r\n

\r\nYou are needed at this meeting to make sure we continue to get the\r\ntruth and to protect our children and community!\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nOver the last year, our group and the Satilla Riverkeepers have been\r\nworking with GreenLaw, a non-profit Environmental firm, to give us\r\nan honest evaluation of the contamination in Waycross. Well, we have\r\nContamination, but now we need to know that CSX and AGL are doing\r\nall they can do to clean up these toxic chemicals. Recent documents\r\nindicate they are not. So, GreenLaw would like to bring in\r\nEarthjustice, a national environmental law organization, to see if\r\nthey can further assist the community. Additionally, we will have\r\nother experts in attendance. They would like to take a tour of\r\nWaycross, the canal system, and meet people from the community.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nJoin us for this important meeting ”protecting our community’s\r\nhealth!\r\n
\r\nTuesday, January 6th, 2014 5:30 ”6:30 PM\r\n

\r\nAdditionally with the help of GreenLaw we have filed a petition for\r\nassistance with Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry\r\n(ASTDR). The petition summarizes our community problem and should e\r\nread by all. It can be viewed on line at:\r\n
