Make the Movement Move
Well I dedicate my life to the people who need the light
To help them rise above the scam on the land and their lives
And I'm cuttin' like a knife
All the lies by the slice
Independent of this democracy is really worth the bite
My request in reasonable, a tribe undefeatable

ME2: A Timeline Retrospective

No, they did not. The DEP never held a public hearing in Delaware County. DELAWARE COUNTY, the site of Marcus Hook, NEVER , had a public hearing. So our voices were not hea
Moving Forward After Environmental Hearing Board
While we were disappointed with the judge's ruling last week on our request to stay the water permits, there were some very interesting admissions made by Sunoco and DEP. Among those, notably: 1) Sunoco admitted it was currently revising the plans that DEP had approved in order to better conform them to the conditions set in the permits. In other words, their construction plans currently violate the permit conditions and they need to fix them, but they're still building the
