This SWPATH Resident-Led Town Hall focuses on personal stories from residents living in the environmental justice communities of Allegheny and Beaver counties who continue to suffer from our region's poor air quality. Hear personal stories from residents of environmental justice communities in Allegheny and Beaver counties, who continue to suffer from living in one of the worst places in the country for cancer, lung and heart diseases caused by air pollution. These personal pleas – which will highlight the lived experience of people who live closest to sources of pollution – will be shared with EPA Region 3 Administrator Adam Ortiz.
