The natural gas industry is ramping up, with their eye on constructing new plastics plants and liquefied natural gas export terminals. But communities are organizing to stop this build out.
This inspiring and action-packed webinar is coming straight from the frontlines, and will feature Goldman Prize winner Sharon Lavigne of RISE St. James, who is leading the fight against the proposed Formosa Plastics petrochemical project. Joining Sharon will be other local leaders resisting the planned Dilles Bottom ethane cracker plant in Ohio, and the proposed New Fortress Energy fast LNG project in the Gulf of Mexico.
These projects are being proposed in areas that for decades have been devastated by the fossil fuel industry – from Cancer Alley in Louisiana, to Appalachia, to the Gulf Coast. Communities have already suffered far too much from the pollution and health impacts. As Sharon Lavigne says of her community, “St. James is full up.”
This is not just a fossil fuel buildout, but a doubling down on sacrifice zones. And it has to stop.
Each of these projects would lock us into fossil fuel dependence for decades.
But they are expensive and in their early stages, so it’s not too late. The companies behind these disastrous projects have not yet raised the money to build them, so now is the perfect time to take collective action.
In solidarity,
