Candidates questioned about HF at Candidate Forums
At all 4 recent Torrance City Council candidate forums questions were asked about the candidates’ views on HF, showing that this issue is still very prominent in the community. Over 500 handouts were distributed about the upcoming February 17th event at Columbia park. Many attendees were aware of the issue and supportive of conversion to a safer alternative chemical.
Join us – Rally this Saturday
Join us on Saturday, February 17th from 10am until 1pm @ Columbia Park, Prairie Ave. (north of 190th St.) in Torrance, CA
Learn more about the dangers of Hydrofluoric Acid (HF/MHF) used at the Torrance & Wilmington refineries, hear from experts & elected officials, and rally for the safer community we all deserve! Join us in telling Valero Energy Corporation (based in Texas) & PBF Energy, Inc. (based in New Jersey) that communities deserve safer places to live, learn, and work!
While these private companies rake in hundreds of millions of dollars off of the South Bay, their investment into safer chemicals and safe practices remains lacking. Let’s make sure these two oil refining companies are protecting the safety of all children at nearby schools, of elderly people out for a walk, of our pets and wildlife, and for all! TRAA says, “OUR LIVES ARE WORTH THE COST TO CONVERT!”
