Where: Zoom

Please join us and our Healthy Port Communities Coalition partners for a panel discussion on February 26th from 6 pm – 7:30 pm with Houston area legislators. Due to last week’s winter storm, we are pivoting the event to include community concerns about the recent events. Please join us for this important discussion with our State Representatives.

Featuring:

Representative Armando Walle – District 140
Representative Harold Dutton – District 142
Representative Christina Morales – District 145
Representative Penny Morales Shaw – District 148

Learn what’s being done – and what more the legislature can do – to protect your health and the environment. Your health is at risk. Chemical explosions, toxic pollution, cancer clusters, and COVID-19 have impacted the health and well-being of Houston area residents – and now, a massive winter storm that has jeopardized the lives of people across the state of Texas. We must see policies put into law that prioritize people first.

Our legislators will provide important updates to you on what they are doing in Austin to provide relief to our communities, clean up pollution, and ensure that you are protected from chemical disasters and toxic messes.
