Protect Louisiana’s River Parishes from Petrochemical Pollution

What you need to know

For the people of Louisiana’s River Parishes, the fight against petrochemical expansion is deeply personal. This stretch of the Mississippi River – where our families and community have called home for generations – is now known the world over 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. What’s at stake here echoes through generations and across the world: will we keep sacrificing communities for short-term, company profit, or will we stand up and put people over pollution?

Standing up to unchecked petrochemical expansion isn’t just about saying “no” to pollution –  it’s about saying “yes” to a future where our families can breathe easy, where our seniors can thrive, and where the next generation can stay and build a future for themselves and our community.
