How environmental activists across Illinois are fighting to protect their neighborhoods.
In Chicago, when it comes to industrial pollution it's often the Latino and Black communities who bear the brunt. Nowhere has that been more evident than Chicago’s Southeast Side. After a two-year battle, environmental justice advocates fought metal shredding company General Iron and succeeded when the city denied them a permit in their neighborhood.
