WHAT: Moms Clean Air Force, State Senator Katie Muth, Environmental Health Project, and Clean Air Council will gather at the Pennsylvania State Capitol Rotunda for a press conference, calling on state leaders to safeguard Pennsylvanians from fossil fuel and plastic industry buildout. These facilities are sickening people in local neighborhoods and heating the planet with their emissions. Any proposed expansion of facilities would lock Pennsylvanians into more plastic industry buildout, more fracked fossil fuel infrastructure, and more pollution.
