Good news, bad news. Good news, no lines in Westport and Lakeland neighborhoods at the polls - easy in & out! Bad news, we've gotta push neighbors to get out and vote. Have a friend in South Baltimore? Time to give a call and make sure they've voted! #election2024

‘Even if you are not a tree-hugger like me, you should oppose this subsidy because it’s MD handing over large sums of cash, millions of dollars, to companies that don’t need the cash,’ @DelegateStewart…the only thing that Marylanders gets in return is toxic air @BaltimoreSouth

“Thankfully, this will be the last legislative session we have to spend on this issue, which literally comes down to paying incinerators to cut our lives short. I just wish it didn’t take 15 years for Maryland officials to correct this terrible mistake.”thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-power…



Carlos Sanchez of the @BaltimoreSouth, currently developing permanently affordable housing/organizing around all kinds of environmental justice issues impacting residents in far South Baltimore communities: CSX coal facility, trash incinerator, medical waste incinerator and more.

Proud to have @BaltimoreBrew's journalism featured in a full page ad in the @nytimes today promoting @INN We're one of their 450+ members: "nonpartisan news organizations providing high quality journalism as a public service.” shorturl.at/2Fz2q

MD wasted > $100 million subsidizing trash incineration as ‘renewable energy,’ while emitting more ghg emissions / unit of energy than coal/any other power source. Rip-off for MD to subsidize highly profitable corporations when they’re only getting polluted air @BaltimoreSouth

Similar bills have failed in many recent legislative sessions, but the new backing of the Senate president could put it over the top next year. marylandmatters.org/2024/10/21/fer…

BREAKTHROUGH: Ferguson said the incineration issue attracted “some of the greatest level of attention and consternation” among constituents in his district, relative to other issues brought to his office. baltimoresun.com/2024/10/21/fer…

I commend Senate President Ferguson for removing waste incineration from Maryland's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). This pivotal decision advances justice for historically impacted communities. I look forward to collaborating with colleagues and community leaders for change.

Please see my statement regarding the future of waste incinerators in Maryland's Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard Program:

Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson said Friday he will sponsor a bill to remove trash incineration from the state’s list of subsidized renewable energy practices. bit.ly/48fNGDr

Communities polluted by incinerators & fighting new ones have long been forced to subsidize their polluters & fight uphill against state-sponsored greenwashing. @SenatorFerguson’s support for the #ReclaimRenewable Energy Act in #mdga25 will help end this environmental injustice.


Toby Ann Harris Reposted

Incinerators emit more GHGs per energy than any other power source, & pollution that contributes to respiratory & cardiovascular disease & cancer. Residents near the incinerators in Baltimore City & Montgomery County deserve better. #ReclaimRenewable journals.plos.org/climate/articl…

Big news coming very soon today on the longstanding community led movement away from trash incineration to Zero Waste!

Last night Dr. Mel was honored with NDC's Community Advocate of the Year Award. If you know Dr. Mel, you know how hard she fights for us all. She deserves this recognition (even though she'd never ask for it) and we couldn't be more proud or more appreciative of NDC's support!
