"The legislature's giveaways to the swine and natural gas industries at the expense of North Carolina's most vulnerable residents must stop," said Anne Harvey, Chief Counsel for Environmental Justice with the Southern Coalition for Social Justice.
"The override of HB 600 joins a long and notorious list of harms this gerrymandered legislature has perpetrated on North Carolinians this Session as they used their supermajority to ram through industry favors at the expense of the people they are intended to serve," said Anne Harvey.
"This act is a slap in the face to the thousands of Black and Indigenous North Carolinians, whose lives and homes have been intentionally desecrated by the stench and pollution of these farms," said Anne Harvey of the Southern Coalition for Social Justice.
