The Louisiana Bucket Brigade is taking on the industries that are ruining our state - oil, gas and petrochemicals - to hasten a transition from fossil fuels.
Without the work of the @Tulane Environmental Law Clinic, it would be impossible to show the racially discriminatory practices of the petrochemical industry. Think that’s why @LAGovJeffLandry and @TUFitts want to stop it…? https://t.co/tFiayhdUII
"@SecretaryWright & @POTUS are invited to come breathe our air that has been polluted by fracking for LNG exports, drink our contaminated water, & pay higher energy bills just for corporations to become even wealthier by sending our resources abroad." https://t.co/BaHrBauk5x

Today starts a trial as Joy Banner, co-founder of The Descendants Project, sues St. John Parish for violation of her first amendment rights during a public meeting. https://t.co/8Rv4mJ0671
"The fight against LNG exports is about more than opposing a single project or industry. It is about envisioning a future where clean air, safe water, and a stable climate are universal rights rather than privileges." -Roishetta Ozane

It's Giving Tuesday! For nearly 25 years we have worked to end environmental racism and the destruction of our state and planet by the petrochemical industry. Join us in continuing that work! https://t.co/fqKNHHEsBY
Solidarity from the Gulf South to the rest of the world! Activists in Germany protest the US LNG tanker filled with gas from Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass terminal. https://t.co/eWXib857il
Approving new gas export facilities will increase our energy bills while companies make billions and destroy our planet. We need a permanent ban on new LNG plants. https://t.co/OYWHX2pINR
It's clear that the current Biden administration needs to make the pause on LNG permits permanent before the end of the term. We need to act now to protect our communities and planet. https://t.co/IHoGILe7oH
The @labucketbrigade has linked names to the remains of enslaved people found at a former St. James plantation. The company proposing a $9B petrochemical complex on the site doesn't seem swayed, however. @GregLaRose reports https://t.co/vn3runNCsH @project_descend
This burial ground is a part of the former Winchester/Buena Vista plantation. This land is the proposed site of a Formosa Plastics 9.4 billion dollar plant. These sacred burial grounds must be preserved from further exploitation by petrochemical companies like Formosa Plastics!
New research from Genealogist Lenora Gobert has revealed the names and stories of five enslaved individuals at the Buena Vista plantation.

WHOA! New York officials are calling for Big Oil to be *criminally prosecuted* for climate disasters.
They say the oil companies have engaged in “reckless endangerment” by fueling and lying about the climate crisis.
It’s time to #MakePollutersPay.
