Protest Flyer for Hennepin Energy Recovery Center on Midtown Greenway

A protest flyer posted on the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis calls for the "Shut Down HERC!!" The flyer states that the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (HERC) emits mercury, lead, carbon monoxide, and dioxins, which are cancer-causing chemicals that poison the air daily and affect nearby neighborhoods. The flyer's placement on the Midtown Greenway, a popular urban trail built on a former railroad corridor, suggests a connection to environmental activism within the city's public spaces. The Minneapolis Uprising, a period of civil unrest in the city, occurred in 2020, and this flyer may be related to environmental concerns raised during or after that time.
