Description
A group of community members, including many children, stands outside under a building overhang holding protest signs related to chemical exposure and landfill opposition. Messages include “Protect My Future Stop Cecos #6,” “No! Landfill #6 No More Chemicals,” and “No Dioxin Loopholes! You Keep Yours We'll Keep Ours.” Some signs reference Love Canal and Niagara Falls. The protest appears to be directed at government or corporate policies surrounding hazardous waste disposal.
