Video: US Social Forum 2010: "Clean Air, Good Jobs, and Justice for All" at the Detroit Incinerator

Detroit is home to some of Michigan's worst polluting facilities and vehicles. These include the Detroit Incinerator, Marathon Oil Refinery, DTE Energy, U.S. Steel Corp., heavy diesel traffic and much more. In addition Detroit's children suffer asthma rates 3 times worse than the rest of Michigan, and asthma-related deaths 5 times the state average.

US Social Forum organizers called for a mass demonstration at the Detroit Incinerator at 9 AM on Saturday, June 26, the last day of the Forum. The demonstration was organized to push the Mayor to expand curbside recycling throughout Detroit--bringing new jobs and economic development to the city -- AND TO END INCINERATION OF DETROIT'S TRASH.
