This is BIG NEWS - good news - in a state that sorely lacks the civil rights museums that we ought to have. Next on the agenda: monument & museum to 1811 slave revolt, monument & museum to Homer Plessy...

How does @GNOinc on the one hand talk about the need for great schools and on the other, have a policy of supporting construction of petrochemical plants near schools? These plants release developmental toxins that prevent children from reaching their potential as human beings. twitter.com/MHechtGNO/stat…

We cheer on those who are taking brave stands to save our planet. #stoptheMVP
And really - does the company really call its pipeline MVP? So brazen, so disgusting! twitter.com/RisingTideNA/s…

From @Essence @essencefest "Black Women are Leading the Way in Environmental Justice" by @WordsByWillis. “Think of Harriet Tubman; she was an environmentalist to the core & had a spiritual connection to the earth,” Dorceta Taylor says.

On the one hand: African American families whose home values & health are decimated by petrochemical projects like Formosa & Wanhua. On the other: wealthy white men @MHechtGNO from @GNOinc leading the charge to eliminate black communities & enrich overseas companies & themselves twitter.com/HealthyGulf/st…

How about a profile of how his organization is helping to destroy historic African-American communities in St. James Parish? @GNOinc easy to smile when it’s not your home being devastated.

The chemical plants that @GNOinc is advocating for in St. James Parish will decimate the historic African-American communities . Out of state white people will get construction jobs, local black people will get the sickness, death, & utter devastation of their property values. twitter.com/HealthyGulf/st…

Rev. Harry Joseph: Petrochemical plants fail to employ local St. James residents. Economic development is not present in the parish's 4th & 5th districts, both of which are predominantly African American areas. #lagov

But the truth is that none of the people responsible for bringing these plants to St. James actually live near them. Saying "I would.." do something is not the same as doing it. twitter.com/labucketbrigad…
