Support CCHCC and the 5th & Hill Campaign - July 2010

TentChampaign County Health Care Consumers is working with residents of Champaign’s 5th & Hill neighborhood to take on this “David and Goliath” struggle to force Ameren to fully clean up its toxic waste that has contaminated the soil and groundwater throughout the 5th & Hill Neighborhood. We need your support so that the campaign can change harmful local and state policies that protect corporations’ interests over those of the people and the environment – the same policies that allow Ameren to leave toxic groundwater in place in the 5th & Hill Neighborhood.
