An excellent report from By Jasmine Mendez, LA Times staff writer, about our Teach-in and Rally last Saturday.
From the Los Angeles Times: Residents and advocates gathered Saturday to demand the ban of a chemical that’s used at a Torrance oil refinery and that they say has the potential to cause a mass casualty disaster.
The rally included a talk by County Supervisor Janice Hahn, a long-time supporter, a video from Congressperson Maxine Waters (who announced she is introducing a bill to ban HF/MHF from refineries nationwide), and an announcement of a new David Poster ACTION Memorial Fund to be given annually to a TRAA person who exemplifies the “passion, inspiration, kindness, humor, and determination to make the world a better place that was embodied by David Poster.”
