Petition: Demand Boeing Clean Up River It Polluted

For decades, the multi-billion dollar aerospace company Boeing actively dumped toxic waste in a Seattle waterway – and planned it this way. In fact, in a 1950 internal magazine article, the company called the Duwamish River a “natural collector for Boeing’s fluid wastes.”

Now, the river is one of the most contaminated in the entire United States. But instead of taking responsibility as it should, the company is “negotiating” with local authorities over who is responsible for its cleanup, including the city. And so far, all these negotiations have been conducted in secret.

What we do know so far, is that the costs of this cleanup project might exceed $1 billion and that Boeing is trying its hardest not to pay. Why should taxpayers have to foot the bill for a corporation’s reckless and toxic behavior?

Please sign this petition to tell Boeing’s CEO, Dave Calhoun, to make his billion-dollar company pay to clean up the Duwamish River!
