We are at a pivotal moment in the fight to stop Formosa Plastics from building a mega-polluting petrochemical plant in St. James Parish, Louisiana. The power of the people and robust legal opposition has delayed construction of the polluting complex.
The Army Corps of Engineers has suspended and is currently reevaluating the project’s federal permit. Any meaningful analysis of the permit would make it clear that this permit should be revoked entirely. The plant would pollute a predominantly Black community, disturb unmarked burial sites of formerly enslaved people, degrade wetlands and deepen the ocean plastic pollution crisis.
With a new Commander in Chief leading the way, the Corps can make environmental justice a priority and faithfully execute our environmental laws to stop Formosa Plastics from polluting Louisiana’s air and water.
Urge the Army Corps of Engineers to prioritize environmental justice, protect wetlands, and revoke the Formosa Plastics’ federal permit today.
Please submit a public comment to help us reach the goal of over 15,000 letters to the Army Corps calling for the revocation of Formosa Plastics’ permit.
