Families like mine industrialized the South. We paid the price in air pollution.

The Trump administration is proposing new regulations that could increase air pollution in the South, where many families have long been dealing with the environmental fallout from industrial development. These communities have already suffered from severe air quality issues due to decades of industrial activity. The new proposals risk exacerbating health problems for residents, highlighting the ongoing struggle for environmental justice and the need for stricter pollution controls to protect vulnerable populations. This situation underscores the importance of considering the long-term health impacts of industrial policies on communities that have already borne the brunt of pollution.
