We Didn’t Vote for Dirty Air or Dirty Water

Featuring attorneys from Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) Alyson Merlin & Patrick Hunter.

The waterways that provide our drinking water face constant threats from pollution, with harms often falling hardest on rural areas or communities of color. Industrial and transportation emissions burden our region with harmful air pollution, so SELC is advancing cleaner solutions and taking on the region’s biggest polluters to ensure the air we breathe is healthy.
