JOPPA IS DALLAS' BEST PRESERVED REMAINING FREEDMAN'S TOWNSHIP. It's
surrounded by heavy industry and tons of air pollution, but the
nearest permanent air monitor is nine miles away.In March, residents
defeated a proposal to locate two additional concrete batch plants
there, in part because Downwinders at Risk members used their new
portable particulate matter monitors to show how high current high
pollution levels already are.
The goal of our groups is to begin permanent air quality monitoring
in Joppa as part of a long-term effort to redress decades of
environmental racism. New pollution controls, new zoning, and new city
policies being proposed by the Joppa Freedman's Township Association
and Downwinders at Risk are all designed to "Let Joppa Breathe."
A $25 ticket gets you food, wine or beer, and a program highlighting
the cultural and historical significance of Joppa as well as
celebrating our determined effort to preserve and revitalize it.
Sponsorships are available for $500, 250 and $100. Please
