Stop Formosa Plastics

Over the course of the past year, we’ve written to you about the ongoing fight against Formosa Plastics’ new petrochemical complex in St. James Parish, Louisiana. Communities and groups across the Gulf like Rise St. James have been fighting back against toxic pollution for decades, and this project would add the pollution of three new coal plants to the area. Today we have updates and ways for you to take action:

Join organizers leading this campaign this week on Thursday, September 14th at 6:00 PT / 8:00PM Central / 9:00pm ET as we take action against this large corporation and call on banks to divest, defund and denounce Formosa Plastics!

Formosa Plastics plans to build a $12 billion petrochemicals complex in St. James Parish – the heart of Cancer Alley, Louisiana, in a predominantly Black district that is already overburdened with pollution. The new plant would increase toxic air pollution by 800 tons each year and generate 13.6 million tons of climate-destabilizing greenhouse gasses annually – a greater carbon footprint than the disastrous Willow Project.

Activists like Sharon Lavigne have been fighting Formosa Plastics for years in efforts to save her community and protect what she loves. Join us in supporting her in stopping Formosa Plastics during the virtual toxic tour on Thursday September 14th at 8:00PM Central! RSVP here to get the Zoom link.

Many of you have been engaged around this fight for the last several years! We are back to update you on what’s going on with the project, and raise awareness around Formosa’s serial polluter behavior and the detrimental effects this company has caused around the globe. Join us Thursday, September 14th as we take action against this large corporation and call on banks to divest, defund and denounce Formosa Plastics.

Our webinar will also feature in person activities that you can participate in no matter what part of the world you are in! Let’s get ready to uplift climate action and continue to support Rise St. James and partners as they take on Formosa Plastics.

RSVP to get the Zoom link and let Formosa Plastics know it’s well past time to stop building more petrochemical complexes and start working towards climate goals!
