Patricia Redding and other activists discussed the environmental injustices facing Southwest Detroit, Dearborn, River Rouge, Ecorse and surrounding communities, and called for action to address the pollution and protect the health of the residents.

Corporate media and billionaire owners shape much of the news landscape. Meanwhile, disinformation and dwindling local coverage leave communities in the dark.
Planet Detroit is different. Readers, not shareholders, power us—delivering fact-based, independent reporting on climate, health, and the environment. No paywalls. No outside influence. Just journalism that puts you first.
If you value our work, please consider supporting our nonprofit newsroom. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference—and takes less than a minute. Thank you.
