🚨 Breaking News! 🚨 In a major win for the community & environment, the court has ruled in favor of Bloomington residents that San Bernardino County’s approval of this warehouse development was in violation of CEQA. 🌎⚖️ The County must now go back to the drawing board to sufficiently analyze the project’s environmental impacts. We hope once it is time to review this, SB County leadership seriously considers the catastrophic effects of this project. 🌱✨ #EnvironmentalJustice #CEQA #CourtDecision #BloomingtonIsNotForSale #BloomingtonNoSeVende __________________ 🚨 Noticias de última hora 🚨 En una importante victoria para la comunidad y el medio ambiente, la corte ha decidido a favor de los residentes de Bloomington que la aprobación por parte del condado de San Bernardino que la construcción de estas bodegas infringe las leyes ambientales de CEQA. 🌎⚖️ El Condado debe volver ahora a la mesa de dibujo para analizar suficientemente las repercusiones medioambientales del proyecto.

This Friday there’s a critical vote at the South Coast Air Quality Management- the rails have gone untouched for too long and it’s come at the cost of our communities! It’s time to regulate rail!!! #RailIndirectSourceRule 🚂

THIS FRIDAY #RailISR We are showing up alongside our community at @SouthCoastAQMD because our communities have had enough! It’s time to regulate rail! 🚂

But at what cost? Amazon is one of the biggest polluters, contributors to climate change, and in the Inland Empire has immensely negatively impacted on our communities. From displacement, worsening air quality, health issues, labor issues, exploitation of our communities and so much more. We hope that this Prime Day, you remember the stories of our community which are a direct result of the expanding logistics industry in the Inland Empire. And that the convenience of fast shipping has come at the cost of our communities in the Inland Empire. #amazonprimeday

Last month, we started the hearings for our lawsuit against San Bernardino County and expect to have an outcome at the end of the summer. We want to emphasize how much the County has contributed to the erasure and destabilization of a residential community. Stay tuned for future updates. #BloomingtonNoSeVende #BloomingtonIsNotforSale ________________ El mes pasado, comenzamos las audiencias para nuestra demanda contra el condado de San Bernardino y esperamos tener una respuesta al final del verano. Queremos enfatizar lo mucho que el Condado ha contribuido a la borración y desestabilización de una comunidad residencial. Estén atentos a futuras actualizaciones. #BloomingtonNoSeVende #BloomingtonIsNotforSale
