ST. LOUIS NEEDS CARE, NOT CHEMICALS! There is a controversial proposal to open a new hazardous chemical facility in North St. Louis, spearheaded by Israeli Chemical Limited (ICL). The facility, linked to military interests, has raised significant concerns due to its potential environmental and health risks. This issue connects this project to a legacy of gentrification, environmental harm, and the militarization of St. Louis, particularly in Black communities. With local residents already facing food insecurity and health disparities, this petiton calls for a united pushback against the facility to protect St. Louis' vulnerable communities and to prevent the city from becoming another site of corporate and military exploitation.

To the St. Louis Board of Aldermen:
After decades of continued exposure to chemicals in St. Louis, there is another proposed hazardous chemical facility in the works – Israeli Chemical Limited (ICL). Not only do the chemicals and weapons produced in this facility pose another risk to residents of the St. Louis Metro Area, but they are also produced using our tax dollars to continue the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. With a second ICL Facility constructed in St. Louis, we would be added to the list of military retaliation zones. St. Louis didn’t ask for this. We call on you to halt the plans to open the facility. As of right now there is not an active resolution to block the development of this facility -- we call on you to introduce such a resolution and actively work to stop it. We don't want ICL anywhere in Missouri!
