43] – On Thurs., Oct. 26, please call Gov. Moore at
410-974-3901, and tell him to stand up to CSX. He should tell the Maryland
Department of the Environment to reject a coal permit! The air pollution permit for CSX’s dangerous
and unhealthy coal terminal in Curtis Bay has expired and is past due for
renewal. Despite requests from allied community groups to engage with them, the
Maryland Department of the Environment has been stalling, continuing to
postpone taking public input on the permit renewal.

48] – Public Citizen [action@citizen.org] is urging you to see a documentary on Thurs., Oct. 26 at 7 PM ET – No Time to Fail, which is about election workers. In the face of voter suppression and a global pandemic, people turned out to vote in record numbers in 2020. And election workers rose to the challenge, as they worked long hours in the midst of the pandemic to oversee the most secure election in our history. The new documentary gives voice to the experiences of this largely invisible, yet completely indispensable workforce during the 2020 Election. No Time to Fail is premiering on PBS, and Public Citizen is joining the producers and former election official Tina Barton to host a virtual watch event. Watch the documentary with other activists who care about protecting our election workers from attacks and conspiracy theories. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/publiccitizeninitiative/event/584263/?utm_source=PCemail&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=3da383be-c31a-492f-b2e3-f3df3fb8a34a
