PROTECTING ACCESS TO ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

Chemical Company Wins Case Against Community Activist

The chemical company had been fined numerous times for environmental violations. Now a community activist who drew attention to the company's record is being punished.

According to the activist's attorney, "This decision is going to have a chilling effect on everyone in the country, on anyone who might want to stand up against polluters in their community, or meet with other community members to talk about concerns."
