I was reading Jordan's new Corporate Con Job book chapter yesterday when I saw a statistic that shocked me (and this is in an age of shocking statistics). 

It was this:



In these United States, the city of East Chicago, Indiana has an infant mortality rate of 16.3 per 1,000 live births. This hurts my heart. Why aren't we doing more for these people? Why are corporations allowed to pollute and destroy innocent lives without making a splash—in fact most people aren't even aware.

Jordan did some updated reporting on this crisis yesterday—WATCH:
Jordan reports on a bombshell report that the CDC wrongly declared children and residents in East Chicago Superfund sites were not at risk for lead contamination in 2011 (in 2016, lead levels over 200x the allowed limit were found in soil).
I know Jordan's definitely going to stay on this important story. 

I learned a lot from reading his account of his times reporting there. Definitely take a look if you're a Patron. If you aren't, it's well worth sponsoring Jordan's book at $1 per chapter or whatever works for you.

READ THE EAST CHICAGO CHAPTER

Thanks to everyone for your support of Jordan's book!
