Think you’re registered? Think again, Chuck-o. I was at a polling station in Atlanta, filming one Black person after another getting the heave-ho from the poll, told they couldn’t vote, including Christine Jordan, 92-years old in a walker.

And to make it worse: A lot of clothing is being sent straight to the landfill or burned in an incinerator without ever being worn. The fast fashion model of making more clothes than we can buy wastes precious resources, creates piles and piles of textile waste, and pollutes our air and water.

Environment America is working to slow this endless cycle of overproduction and waste by calling on clothing giant Forever 21 to publicly commit to not trashing or burning its overstock. Add your name.
