For the people of Louisiana's River Parishes, the fight against petrochemical expansion is deeply personal. This stretch of the Mississippi River is now known as "Cancer Alley" because of the staggering concentration of industrial plants that line the river's banks.
Industry has spent decades poisoning our air and water, taking up land, and making big promises for prosperity and jobs that we're still waiting for. Every new facility means more pollution and more risk — in a region where our families already carry the burden of some of the highest cancer rates in the nation.
But the River Parishes are more than a statistic. They're a place of strength, faith, and resilience, where people are standing together to protect their homes and demand a better future.
Join our growing community of supporters by pledging your support to protect Louisiana's River Parishes from petrochemical expansion and defend our communities from unnecessary pollution.
