Freedom to Breathe: Singing Action
Join a group of Sierra Club volunteers and other local vocalists (no prior experience required) who are wanting to your song to encourage our elected leaders and community to adopt a zero waste future and to stop burning trash as a waste solution.
Rally at the County before Public Comment
Join us for this critical moment of the campaign — 11 days into the hunger strike. The Hennepin County Board still hasn't called a vote to close the HERC trash burner. Pack the room. Fill the public comment. Demand they act.
Freedom to Breathe: Conversations About Environmental Justice in the Twin Cities
In our pursuit for solidarity, justice, and equity for all, fights for environmental justice illuminate collaborative paths toward a better future. Twin Cities environmental justice leaders across St. Paul and Minneapolis will lead a conversation about using our collective power to hold industrial polluters accountable.
This event comes on the 10th day of a hunger strike led by the Zero Burn Coalition to catalyze the closure of the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center, a trash incinerator in northern Minneapolis that has been stealing the livelihood of residents for 37 years.
Join us for an evening of conversation, solidarity, and action.
Rally at the HERC Trash Burner
While hunger strikers put their bodies on the line, we need bodies on the ground. Show up, make noise, and demand the Hennepin County Board vote to close this facility by December 31, 2027.
Community Hearing: How the HERC Trash Burner Harms Health
Whether you're a healthcare worker or community member in Hennepin County, you're invited to get the facts from health professionals about the true health harms of the HERC burner.
