Dear friends, on October 10th, a coalition of whistleblower and civil rights organizations under the auspice of Occupy Washington, DC, the No FEAR Coalition, the National Whistleblower Center, net-We, the Alliance for Workplace Accountability and NIH Workplace Fairness convened a rally at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC.  We held a spirited march to EPA Headquarters demanding that  EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson promulgate revised clean air/smog regulations. According to Senators Barbara Boxer and Ben Cardin, over 200,000 new cases of asthma and other upper respiratory diseases will occur unless new air regulations are implemented. The president ordered Jackson to stand down on promulgation of new air regulations.

The protest also called upon Jackson to stop retaliation against whistleblowers.  

We acknowledged our solidarity with South African vanadium workers. EPA Whistleblower Jon Grand was awarded a certificate of appreciation by the National Whistleblower Center. 

Please see pictures, video and news clippings from the Occupy EPA event. Please post on your website, Facebook, twitter account and distribute to friends and colleagues.

The next march on  EPA will take place Wednesday, November 16th at Freedom Plaza.  Please come out and support the communities suffering from mountain top removal.
