Democratic
presidential
candidates Jay Inslee and Elizabeth
Warren both visited Detroit on
Tuesday. Inslee has been governor
of the state of Washington since
2013 and has focused his campaign
on environmental issues. Warren, a
Massachusetts senator, has created
a progressive campaign focused on
rebuilding the middle class and
fighting
corruption.
According
to Real Clear Politics averages,
Warren and Inslee currently poll
at 8.3 and 0.5 percent, respectively.
On Tuesday morning, Jay Inslee
spoke with three environmental
justice leaders in the 48217 zip
code of Detroit, which has been
referred to as “most polluted zip
code in Michigan.” The event was
composed of a walking tour around
the Kemeny Recreation Center
and the neighboring Marathon
Petroleum refinery.
Inslee’s campaign has been
focused on combating climate
change and he highlighted the
progress Washington has made
under his leadership in combating
climate change. When asked about
why he was visiting Detroit, Inslee
emphasized
the
environmental
impact of the fossil fuel industry on
the communities they operate in.
“I’m in Detroit to see the
problems that the fossil fuel
industry, specifically the oil and
gas industry, causes the residents
of this area,” Inslee said. “I have
proposed a plan to wean us off of
fossil fuels so that these families
don’t have to breathe these fumes
and their children don’t have to
be exposed to asthma and cancer,
which appears to be a higher rate
here.”
Theresa Landrum, a Detroit
resident who has been working
since the 1980s to clean up
pollution, lead most of the walk.
She said she has lived in the area
her whole life and remembers what
the community center looked like
before the refinery moved in.
“Marathon and I-75 have taken
up wetlands; we had possum, the
fox, the raccoons, the gardener
snake, the turtles. We used to
play there as children,” Landrum
said. “Every home had a garden,
every home had five to six fruit
trees. They have all died out, and I
contribute that to the emissions in
the air. If the vegetation dies out,
what is that doing to human life?”
Landrum
talked
about
the
impact the Marathon plant has had
on the surrounding community,
which she said has been widely
felt.
“We need doctors to be to be
trained to be able to identify more
environmentally-related diseases,”
Landrum said. “We know that
we are a vulnerable community.
We should not be compared to a
healthy community when it comes
to national standards. You have to
compare a vulnerable community
with a vulnerable community.”
