This is huge John: A Louisiana court just vacated air permits for Formosa Plastics’ massive petrochemical complex that could have tripled cancer-causing pollutants in the St. James Parish region. This is a major victory for Cancer Alley communities and would not have been possible without community members, organizations, and others — including you, John — coming together in a years-long fight. We believe in people-powered movements that inspire others to fight for communities harmed by pollution. The community of St. James Parish — and communities all over the world — deserve clean air, water and soil. Your actions and donations make a difference, and this is proof. Thank you. We do have the power to make a difference. We do have the power to stop bad industries from coming into our neighborhoods. Let’s keep this momentum going! |
