Advocates and residents agree: information connecting our health and the state of our environment is difficult to find. Government and private sector data sometimes conflict with our experience on the ground.

Therefore, WE ACT for Environmental Justice is proud to announce publication of the very first Environmental Health Report Card for Northern Manhattan. WE ACT created this report card to provide a more inclusive evaluation of Northern Manhattan's environmental health status.

Please join WE ACT on Friday, April 22nd, 2011 at 11:00 am for a press conference to launch the Report Card. The press conference will take place on the overlook at the corner of  Riverside Drive and 135th Street, and will be followed by an Earth Day Lunch Reception across the street at Broadway Housing Communities (583 Riverside Drive, also the corner of 135th Street and Riverside Drive), on the 7th Floor in the Children's Library and Terrace at 12 noon.
