Formosa Plastics is trying to build a massive 14-facility petrochemicals complex in Louisiana. If it succeeds, it would double toxic emissions in “Cancer Alley". We can do better! @BankofAmerica listen to the people & divest from #FormosaPlastics #LETSGEAUXBOFA #NoFormosaPlastics

3 months ago the MI legislature passed legislation to ease voting for military service members & their spouses. ⁦@SenMikeShirkey⁩ still hasn’t delivered the bill to ⁦@GovWhitmer⁩ to sign into law. Today’s the last day he can. Can you join me in asking him to do so?
