Never Again Moss Landing
Neighbors for Safety. Voices for Justice. Advocates for Change.
We envision a future where all communities are protected from preventable industrial disasters; where residents are heard, empowered, and respected; and where clean air and water, safe neighborhoods, and environmental justice are guaranteed for all.
This Lithium-ion Battery was pierced.
It then exploded.
It then burned underwater.
This tech is incredibly toxic and dangerous.
It must be stopped.
Never Again Moss Landing is a Fast-response grass-roots all-volunteer resident group which advocates for our community’s voice and interests in response to the Moss Landing B.E.S.S. Fire. We believe that a disaster like this must never again occur. We coordinate local citizen efforts to organize and deploy facts that can restore our community’s environment, health, and welfare.
