Hi Everyone!

Hope you and your family will join us on Saturday, August 3, in Clairton Park. We will be providing free food and drink to enjoy the afternoon with our friends and neighbors like you. We just reserved the pavilion on Friday and will send out more info as we get it.

In the past year we have:

  • distributed over 650, free indoor air purifiers to Mon Valley residents

  • interviewed over 60 residents of Clairton, Glassport, Port Vue, Liberty and Lincoln to complete our Health Survey

  • continued to hold Board of Directors meetings, almost every week, at the First AME Church of Clairton

  • worked with other air quality advocates to urge Joe Biden's Environmental Protection Agency to impose finalized amendments on May 23, 2024 to update and strengthen emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) such as  benzene, mercury, lead and arsenic that are emitted by coke oven facilities.
