living next to heavy industry

 Louisiana just adding to the number of historically black communities that have become extinct due to the intrusion of infrastructure projects, heavy industrial use, and petrochemical industries

Update from our friends and neighbors in St James

“Once again, the state of Louisiana prioritizes polluters over people, but this battle extends beyond Louisiana. We stand at the forefront of climate change, embodying America's authentic struggle for climate and environmental justice.  Living next to Formosa Plastics, with the perpetual risk to our health, livelihood, security and hard-earned property is beyond our imagination. Formosa Plastics would wipe the 5th district of St. James off the map, adding to the number of historically black communities that have become extinct due to the intrusion of petrochemical industries."
