We would like you to go to the children as well, in the form of support for this groundbreaking effort. The project is not designed to point fingers and cast blame, but instead to prompt us as a society to ask what can and must be done to promulgate change. This is a very urgent time on another front on which M.O.S.E.S. has fought for many years. Disturbingly, poisons released in these communities persist in our environment for decades poisoning our land, air, water and food. Toxic emissions know no boundary, crossing states lines and entering communities that lack polluting industries.
Toxins now appear even in the tissue of people and animals in the most remote parts of the world.
However, once again, children suffer the worst from these toxic pollutants. Citizens in poor and low income areas have only themselves and other nonprofit groups to help them in their quest for environmental justice. M.O.S.E.S. lead an effort in Washington that resulted in members of Congress sending a letter to EPA weighing in on the side of citizens. M.0.S.E.S. is stepping up its efforts to bring justice to the communit y of Winona for which M.O.S.E.S. filed a yet to be resolved environmental justice complaint in June, 1994. The stakes are high and we ask that you join us in this historical effort that will no doubt play a big part in shaping the future of our country.
