Within just a few miles of Speaker Mike Johnson’s district is what is known as “Cancer Alley.”
This 85-mile stretch of land is known for having extremely high rates of cancer due to over 200+ chemical plants nearby - and now Republicans want to make it easier to build new plants without environmental protections down there!
The situation in Cancer Alley has gotten so dire that it is now being called a “sacrifice zone” for the humans who live there. Sadly, 40% of the population is Black - significantly higher than the national average.
John, Speaker Johnson should know how bleak this is considering how close to his district this is, but instead he’s working to remove more environmental protections and make it easier for these chemical companies to pollute more carcinogenic gasses into the air.
This is an incredibly sad story, but our activism can make a real difference.
