The Campus Coalition Concerning Chester (C-4) is a network of student and
community members, informed by Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living
(CRCQL), in support of Chester residents, dedicated to bringing about
environmental, economic, political, and racial justice in the City of
Chester, Pennsylvania.
The C-4 coalition came out of the College Weekend Retreat on
Environmental Justice which took place from Feb. 23rd-25th, 1996 at
Swarthmore College and in Chester, PA. The conference attracted
about 50 students from 14 different campuses from around
Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic region.
After touring Chester, meeting with community residents, hanging
out with Zulene Mayfield (lead organizer for Chester Residents
Concerned with Quality Living) those who attended sat down and
strategized about how campuses can be involved and how we can
develop a campaign to explode the issues in Chester to the
statewide level.
To those who came: You Rock!! The energy, enthusiasm, and focus
that you are bringing to this campaign will cause the general
public, the politicians, and the corporations involved in Chester
not only take notice, but act to protect the citizens of Chester.
To those who didn’t make it to Swarthmore, you missed an incredible
weekend, but never fear, you still have a chance to become
involved in this region-wide campaign. To find out how you can
get involved, contact Mike Ewall at 215-743-4884 or catalyst@actionpa.org
