Statement in Solidarity with ‘Tortuguita’ During East Phillips, No Roof Depot Demolition Protest

During a rally connecting the struggle against the Roof Depot demolition in Minneapolis to the resistance to ‘Cop City’ in the Atlanta Forest, Krystle D’Alencar, an organizer with the Minnesota Environmental Justice Table spoke of her group’s organizing efforts against the HERC incinerator in North Minneapolis and related it to the struggle against the Roof Depot demolition, as they’re both highly toxic projects placed in neighborhoods made up of “mostly low-income, working class, and a majority Black and Brown people.”
