Crosby evacuees return venting ire aimed at Arkema

From the Houston Chronicle,Sept. 5, 2017

Arkema confirmed that the chemical trailers had rubber tires and insulation that burned in the fires, which could be present in the ash that falls from the sky.

The company declined to estimate any losses to revenue and said it had five plants in the Gulf Coast impacted by the storm, though Crosby was the hardest hit.

Travis Morales, an activist from New York City, held a news conference in Crosby on Monday, accusing the company of “poisoning” the community and demanding free medical care in the aftermath of the blazes. Some locals shared his concerns as they moved back into their homes early Monday.

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

NOW IS the TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP and ACT to STOP the CONSOLIDATION of TRUMP MAGA FASCISM. For the lives of people here and around the world we must refuse unlawful and inhumane orders… we must fill the streets and town squares in non-violent protest—not stopping until we become millions — not relenting until this regime is no longer able to implement its program or maintain its hold on power.
