Our Purpose

to ensure a safe environment in Framingham and empower all Framingham residents to have a role in decisions that affect their health, safety and quality of life. Specifically, we are working to clean up and shut down General Chemical, a hazardous waste storage, transfer and processing facility that leaked toxic chemicals and endangers the lives of people nearby.

Summary of Projects

The group received a grant in 2011 for a Public Education Strategy focusing on educating residents about public health issues and giving them information about how to get involved.
