Water is an essential right, yet millions in America are burdened with unaffordable or #ContaminatedWater. We must protect the right to water and advocate for water justice for all. 1/

Everyone in Harris County needs to take a lesson from the long, frustrating process and the recent discovery of dioxin in the soil around nearby homes in the Fifth Ward. Check out our blog for information on the most recent findings. buff.ly/3UiG63L

The Gulf Coast is not a sacrifice zone. Read our brief asking the DC Circuit to recognize our extraordinary natural beauty and frontline communities and requite the Biden administration not to ignore climate impacts of offshore O&G development. bayoucitywaterkeeper.org/gul…

The @EPA is launching the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights, truly elevating environmental justice to the highest levels of the agency. Years of hard work from activists all over the country have brought us to this.

We’re asking Governor John Bel Edwards to keep his word and to acknowledge the District Court’s irrefutable decision vacating LDEQ’s air permits for FORMOSA Plastics. @LouisianaGov 📸 @Earthworks

So-called "ethicist" at @nytimes gives OK for lawyers to defend the destruction of the planet, help lock up activists, and attack Indigenous peoples. This from a paper whose in-house ad agency @TBrandStudio designs greenwashing campaigns for @Chevron and BP.
Unethical.

This is what organizing based in values and community can do. It can help all of us.

Just a reminder that this victory to #StopFormosa came 100% from we the people, led by St. James residents and Sharon Lavigne. Elected officials including @LouisianaGov have been behind it all the way.

She did way more than toss it out. She issued a blistering decision. The state of Louisiana should be embarrassed for giving Formosa Plastics a permit, and this decision lays out the reasons why.
Judge Trudy White, of 19th JDC in Baton Rouge, has thrown out the air permit Louisiana gave Formosa for its huge ($10B) planned plastics plant in St. James Parish. Enviros celebrating a big win. Q: Will this decision survive appeal? From @NewsieDave: nola.com/news/article_115b30…

Note to US media: might be a good time to read this important new book and incorporate the information in your coverage of the Queen's death.
Excellent and timely work by a great historian. @AAKnopf

When thousands of Houston Residents lost water after Uri there was such silence. We are hearing that again. Solidarity with the people of Jackson MS. #WaterIsLife #HumanRights #infrastructure
