Candidates on the primary ballot for Ward 5 Council, At-Large Council, Council Chair, Mayor, and Attorney General have been asked to join Brentwood residents and environmental justice supporters throughout DC for a unique pre-election event. The Earth Day event will not be a debate – but rather a speak-out, a chance for candidates to give a short speech highlighting what they will do to advance environmental justice for communities like Brentwood. After the speak out, candidates are invited to interact one-on-one with voters in attendance and tour the 1200 block of W St, NE, a hotspot of industrial pollution and environmental injustice.
