Amazon rolled back its already weak Shipment Zero pledge this spring—showing they are a #PrimePolluter, not a climate leader. This Prime Day, Andy Jassy needs to #DeliverChange with zero emission deliveries by 2030.  Stand.earth BetoLugo-Mtz youtube.com/shorts/ZZg6Axj…

Lets gooo!!!! 🗣️📢 #ZeroMustMeanZero

The all-amazing @The_MFN members heading up to the EPW Senate hearing on locomotives & rail pollution!! #ZeroMustMeanZero

Cleaner trains are the reason @The_MFN is in DC this week 🚂 Rail in this US is powered by #diesel. But it doesn’t need to be this way. One-third of the world’s rail lines are #electric! It’s time for Congress & U.S. EPA to bring the US up to speed. #ZeroMustMeanZero

Follow along as @The_MFN @itMECHICA People’s Collective for Environmental Justice testify on behalf of communities facing dirty diesel rail pollution.

At #NCEL2023 we’re hearing about state policies to close the #EV charging infrastructure gap in an equitable manner. We learned about state policies to accelerate the deployment of charging infrastructure from IBEW, NRDC 🌎🏡, BetoLugo-Mtz (CleanAirN🌎W | VecinosKC).

This weekend BetoLugo-Mtz participated in a plenary panel at the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators #NCEL2023 to ensure that the proposed legislation centers and prioritizes environmental justice communities.

Harcros Chemical in Kansas City, KS released a shocking 4,282 lbs of ethylene oxide in 2021 & ships the chemical by railcar through neighboring EJ communities. EPA should require the facility to consider safer alternatives & lower emissions via the RMP & CMAS rules.

The only "acceptable" amount of cancer-causing chemicals in our communities is ZERO.
