Meet the man who is helping to electrify the postal service. Adrian L. Martinez led Earthjustice’s legal strategy in the postal truck fight. It took a lawsuit from us & 100,000+ public comments from our supporters, but starting in 2026, all new USPS postal trucks will be electric.

If you're working on #rail, this U.S. EPA report on locomotive inventory is essential reading. Two insights that stand out -- 1) 67% of railyard switcher locomotives are Tier 0 2) Class I railyard switcher fleet mixes became *dirtier* from 2017 to 2020 gaftp.epa.gov/air/nei/2020/d…

Atenas at #APHA2023 - on state agency having a meeting on structural racism with community and not acknowledging their own role in it. 😫 Name and address your own part - especially those in positions of power!

Dawud Shabaka of The Harambee House, Inc / Citizens for Environment came with some Q’s for public healthers: Where are the studies on health effects (of the port of Savannah)?! Myself, my family, my community has been studied by institutions for years and we’ve seen nothing abt our health concerns & statistics.

Dawud Shabaka The Harambee House, Inc / Citizens for Environment APHA Julian Drix of Health in Partnership started w/naming his challenges being here w/ all the US govt is complicit in - racism, genocide, oppression - & public health’s role in that. He named power imbalance as a driver of inequities & building power with community is an antidote.
