The WTC Community-Labor Coalition 
 
9/11 Environmental Action is committed to serving the people of New York City in their effort to ensure that  a comprehensive cleanup is achieved in all areas affected by the environmental disaster created by the attack on the World Trade Center, and that unmet public health issues be properly addressed. 
 
Please bookmark this page to keep up with news and announcements from the Coalition,
the organization of community, environmental, labor, tenant, religious, disaster recovery, small business, and social service organizations, residents, school parents, workers, property and small business owners in areas affected by World Trade Center pollution, who have been concerned about unaddressed environmental and public health issues since September 11, 2001.  Its work as community and labor representatives in that process has been acknowledged on a formal basis by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) process.

JOIN THE WTC COMMUNITY-LABOR COALITION ON A CHARTER BUS TO THE MONDAY, JUNE 25 HEARING IN D.C.

RE: EPA’s Handling of Air Quality Issues Following the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001

RESERVE YOUR SEAT BY THIS WEDNESDAY, 6PM
 
On Monday, June 25th, Congressman Jerry Nadler will get his first opportunity to question former EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman under oath at an oversight hearing on 9/11 environmental health issues.

The World Trade Center Community-Labor Coalition and 9/11 Environmental Action have chartered a bus to help folks make the trip from NYC to the DC hearing and back again on Monday.  Round-trip tickets will be available for a reduced cost of $20 per person (plus we have a sliding scale for anyone needing to pay less than $20).

Seats are filling up, so we need to know now—before Wednesday at 6pm—if you want to buy a ticket. (Please confirm that with us even if you have already emailed us that you will come.)

Here's how to reserve your seat:

Send an e-mail wtcclc@911ea.org to tell us you DEFINITELY want 1, 2 or more seats for yourself and colleagues or friends, letting us know which payment option (below) you will be using, and making sure we have name(s) and contact information for each one of you. 

Or call 917- 647 -7074.

Should you enroll in EPA's Lower Manhattan Test & Clean Program? Be informed, and help others to figure out what to do, distribute the WTC CLC's flyer,

EPA's Lower Manhattan Test and Clean Plan has arrived, and it's not good. The WTC CLC condemnedEPA's Fatally Flawed Test and Clean” Program for 9/11 Contamination:

“This plan is even worse than the version we rejected in December 2005. We cannot support it.”
WTC CLC's December 2006 Press Release
.
On January 11, the WTCCLC told the NYC Council that the plan should be withdrawn.
See the Coalition's presentation.

When the EPA launched the program, the Coalition found its worst suspicions confirmed in the new details
