Fix the Harm Campaign
Sign our Letter of Concern to “FIX The HARM” from aircraft Pollution! (Spanish version here)
Beacon Hill Council with El Centro De La Raza launched the “FIX THE HARM” campaign to:
(1) educate our communities about the environmental, health, and climate harms from aircraft air and noise pollution
(2) ask neighbors near and far to sign on to the Letter of Concern
3) help us update the Community Action Plan to fix/reduce the harms.
Yes, we can! We are all in this together!
