ESEJ Community Party: A connection and Mutual Aid Event!Saturday, March 8, 2025, 1:00-3:30 pm
East Side Freedom Library, 1105 Greenbrier Street, Saint Paul, MN 55106
Join East Side neighbors and concerned community members from across the region for this environmental justice mutual aid action!
The East Side of Saint Paul has long been an area of mixed use with industry abutting neighborhoods. Now we know the impact of heavy industry on the air, water and soil on the people who live in the vicinity. The East Side Environmental Justice group (ESEJ) was started by East Side neighbors to collectively address problems such as lack of trees, heat island, air pollution. A big focus has been the Northern Iron Foundry and its resistance to complying with the MPCA (Minnesota Pollution Control) to regulate emissions. Northern Iron has taken the MPCA to court to avoid taking responsibility in our neighborhood! ESEJ has been connecting with our neighbors to assess impact and bring support.
Opportunities include:
*DIY air filter construction to take home to improve you indoor air quality
*Mobile Food shelf distribution by Mom’s Food Shelf
*Box lunch provided
*Free Blood lead testing from ESNDC
*Learn how to submit a complaint to the MPCA
*Engage in community artwork
*Build connections, friendships and knowledge
This event is enthusiastically supported by our East Side Community Councils
THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE
