The Gables Accountability Project (GAP) will be holding an Environmental Justice presentation on Monday, February 22nd at 8:00PM with the University of Miami’s Abigail Fleming.
Abigail Fleming is the Fredman Foundation Practitioner in Residence at the University of Miami School of Law Environmental Justice Clinic (“EJC”). The EJC advocates for and seeks to empower vulnerable communities who disproportionately bear the environmental, economic, and health burdens of the development, implementation, and enforcement of the law. Ms. Fleming’s work sits at the intersection of civil rights, environmental, poverty, and public health law, tackling issues in South Florida including climate change, contamination, environmental health, and municipal equity.
Gables Accountability Project (GAP) is a non-profit organization started by concerned parents of GW Carver and other public schools to sue the City of Coral Gables over the construction of a six-pump WAWA gas station less than 300 feet from the school.

EPA guidelines specifically recommends gas stations be located at least 1,000 feet from schools to protect students from toxic fumes and air pollution due to increased traffic. Here the proposed gas station will be barely 300 feet from the busy entrance to the school used daily by hundreds of small children.
