@RepClayHiggins Louisiana has a part of the state literally called “Cancer Alley” and instead, Republicans are mad at the EPA.

@RepClayHiggins How dare the head of the Environmental Protection Agency dare to try to,…protect the environment?

I was born and raised in the state of Louisiana and today I’m standing stand beside @EPAMichaelRegan for protecting our community from Cancer Alley and gaining access to clean air. We cannot let these people continue to profit off of our demise. All power to the people. ✊🏾

Happy Birthday to Sharon C. Lavigne, founder of RISE St. James ❤️❤️❤️ @SharonLavigne5

The evening sky in St. James the night of Sharon Lavigne’s Goldman Prize announcement. It couldn’t be more beautiful. Blessings today. #stopformosa

We are pumped because the Army Corps suspended toxic Formosa’s wetlands permits last week & yesterday a local judge suspended their air permits. Who said we can’t take on a $9 billion chemical plant in Louisiana? Love to fight for climate justice #StopFormosa #RISEStJames

shout out to Reps Grijalva & McEachin for petitioning Biden to #StopFormosa, a huge petrochemical complex that would be built in a working class Black community already surrounded by a chemical plants. I believe we’ll win this fight ...

We're hoping to take Formosa to court in Taiwan for the envir. & human rights disaster it caused here & in Vietnam. Gathering evidence is hard, proving linkage is harder. Still, we're hoping for awakening from within & from justice system #StopFormosa washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

"We can’t bury our loved ones at St. James Catholic Church because of the current flood stage. Formosa Plastics, however, can lay utility poles for a plant that would make throwaway plastics." A powerful LTE by Sharon Lavigne #StopFormosa theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/op…

Hey @JoeBiden @POTUS @Gina_McCarthy: Thanks for saying #NoKXL! It's time to #BuildBackFossilFree & stop all toxic projects. We need community investment — not more fracking, pipelines or exports. #NoDAPL #StopLine3 #StopFormosa BuildBackFossilFree.org

The UN called out the proposed Formosa petrochemical project in Cancer Alley: "This form of environmental racism poses serious and disproportionate threats to the enjoyment of several human rights of its largely African American residents." #StopFormosa
