Beyond Toxics provides leadership to build a community-driven environmental justice movement for a thriving and just Oregon. We envision a society where everyone has equitable access to healthy food and clean air and water, and underserved communities are included in decision making processes that affect them. Together, we move beyond the damaging environmental practices of the past and collectively work to support and maintain ecological resilience and balance.
GOOD NEWS! 📣 J.H. Baxter's president Georgia Baxter pleaded GUILTY to four felony environmental crimes for illegally boiling hazardous waste, violating the Clean Air Act's emission standards, and making false statements to regulators!
For years, we have been working on this case to bring justice to neighbors in West Eugene who were (and still are) impacted by J.H. Baxter's operations. This is a major win for the community! Read this KLCC article for more information.
VICTORY!
