Location: Walt Whitman Cultural Arts Center
101 Cooper Street

Time: ‎6:00PM Wednesday, June 1st


On behalf of Democracia U.S.A. (DUSA) and the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), I would like to extend to you a special invitation to participate in our upcoming educational town hall “Hispanics, the Environment and the Impact of the Clean Air Act”, to be held on June 1st, 6:00–8:00 p.m., at the Andrew Vitagliano Gallery, on the second floor of the Walt Whitman Cultural Arts Center, located at 101 Cooper Street, Camden, NJ.

At this town hall forum, participants will learn about the importance of protecting the health of our communities through the Clean Air Act. For 40 years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has protected our health by cleaning up life-threatening air pollution and driven innovation that has created a new job sector. It is critical that we protect our community and not let big polluters have a free pass to spew pollution without limit. EPA’s ability to set standards for clean air and water allow public health professionals to protect America’s children, pregnant women, senior citizens, and other vulnerable populations from soot, mercury, arsenic, and other poisons in the air and water.

It is vital that community leaders and organizations also participate so that they can in turn speak on behalf of the community on this significant subject. We would be honored if you were to attend this important event. Please feel free to extend this invitation to your staff and membership/constituency.

To RSVP, please reach out to me at (609)504-2613 or via email at ftrevino@mydemocracia.org. Again, we look forward to seeing you there.
