Louisiana Catholic environmental justice activist wins Goldman Prize
From National Catholic Reporter: "'I had no intention of being an activist,' Sharon Lavigne, a Black Catholic from St. James Parish, Louisiana, said of her battle to keep plastics factories out of her neighborhood. But her race and her place of residence made her a fierce advocate for environmental justice.
And God, she would add: 'It was him that put this fight in me.'"
