Moving Forward Network
For nearly a decade, Moving Forward Network members have been collectively campaigning to end the ever-expanding toxic impacts of the freight sector in their communities. On Nov. 15th, 2021, we launched a new Network priority campaign demanding that the Environmental Protection Agency, along with all other governmental departments and decision makers, need to:
- Prioritize environmental justice across the freight sector
- Commit to eliminating pollution across the freight sector
- Take actionable measures to protect communities most burdened by the effects of an expanding freight sector and deadly diesel emissions
