A textbook case of environmental racism – that’s what’s happening in Louisiana, Friend. More than
200 petrochemical plants and other toxic facilities are POISONING the air for
the surrounding predominately Black communities in a region known as Cancer
Alley.
Imagine your community surrounded by towering smokestacks spewing dark clouds
into the air and seemingly endless networks of snaking wires and pipelines.
Imagine suffering from increased asthma rates and an air pollution linked cancer rate 50 TIMES the national average!
Now imagine a massive corporation coming into your community to build another
mega-polluting plastics complex. The people living in Cancer Alley don’t have to
imagine – because this is their reality. President Biden could revoke Formosa Plastics’ permit and STOP this plant in
its tracks – but we’re running out of time to convince him. Stop the construction of this toxic plant in Cancer Alley before it’s too late!

[[link removed]]The Formosa plant would span 2,300 acres along the Mississippi River, harming
the birds, fish and reptiles that depend on the local habitat. Plastic pellets
like the ones that Formosa Plastics has a track record of illegally releasing from its factories are often mistaken for food by wildlife – which can INJURE or KILL animals!
There is no shortage of reasons why this toxic plastics plant should be
immediately banned from Cancer Alley. But so far, none of those reasons has
pushed President Biden to act. You could be the reason he changes his mind – but every day we waste, this plant is one step closer to being finished. We need 1,492 more signatures to send to President Biden by midnight tonight!
Please, Friend, add yours and help stop Formosa Plastics!
