A new documentary from The YEARS Project features Floodlight reporter Terry L. Jones and dives into the truth behind the “jobs vs. pollution” trade-off. Spoiler: It’s not really a trade-off if one group gets the jobs and another gets the pollution. floodlightnews.org/video-the-fail…

Black and brown communities have long been asked to bear the cost of new industry. But when it comes to sharing in the benefits—like high-paying jobs—they’re routinely left out. floodlightnews.org/video-the-fail…

Louisiana has some the highest rates of #lowbirthweight, #pretermbirth, and #infantmortality in the nation. Black mothers and their children fare the worst. So what’s going on? Go to bit.ly/42K8j9W to learn more. Kaitlyn B. Joshua Beyond Petrochemicals #petrochemicals

When Johns Hopkins scientists drove their air testing van to #CancerAlley, they didn’t have a lot of pre-existing studies to compare to. And the #petrochemicalindustry self-reports to the EPA. What they found astonished them. Go to bit.ly/3STi1AP to learn more.

Science is confirming what fenceline communities experience every day. In February 2023, with funding from Beyond Petrochemicals, researchers from Johns Hopkins University traveled through parts of Cancer Alley, taking measurements of 45 different air pollutants. What they found was alarming.

If the misaligned partnership between the state of Louisiana and petrochemical producers continues, it is likely to crowd out development strategies to address climate change and cut toxic pollution, like that which plagues "Cancer Alley." Our research: ieefa.org/resources/decl…
