Is the petrochemical industry on the upper Texas coast prepared for the next hurricane? Hard to know, given the lack of transparency around emergency preparedness. Our latest:

Wetlands provide protection for communities against hurricanes & flooding. In places like New Orleans, human-caused climate change & industry activity are eroding coastlines, leaving communities vulnerable to extreme weather events. #EnvironmentalJustice veritenews.org/2026/06/16/ma…

As floodplain maps are updated, it's becoming clear that more petrochemical infrastructure is located in these vulnerable areas, placing communities at risk. Watch a video on the incident by @ChemSafetyBoard youtu.be/FIXL7igYYBc?si=UzgM…

May's chemical disasters resulting in death & mass evacuations highlight the need for transparency & regulation of chemical facilities in the face of rollbacks to the Risk Management Program & defunding the @ChemSafetyBoard #EnvironmentalJustice newsweek.com/map-shows-us-ch…

Trump officials are in Texas to respond to the surge in gas prices due to the impact of the war in Iran on oil supply chains and the New World screwworm's potential threat to livestock & cattle ranchers. #EnvironmentalJustice houstonchronicle.com/politic…

Expect beef prices to rise as the New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite that disrupts food supply chains by attacking livestock, is now in Texas. Warmer temps from climate change create ideal conditions for this pest to thrive. usatoday.com/story/news/nati… #EnvironmentalJustice

You can track screwworm cases in Texas with the Houston Chronicle's tool: houstonchronicle.com/project…

From 2020 to 2025, the EPA fined chemical facilities in the Houston area over $12M for violating the Clean Air Act by emitting toxic fumes into communities. We need stricter regulations that prioritize community health & harsher punishments for violators. #EnvironmentalJustice

We're now on the eve of the #FIFAWorldCup2026, and as players & fans battle the heat, @FIFAcom is receiving $100s of millions in sponsorship from the fossil fuel and petrochemical industry that is fueling this climate crisis. #EnvironmentalJustice cbc.ca/radio/whatonearth/fif…

Last night, we joined friends and neighbors for a Public Meeting on a proposed air quality permit for a metal recycling facility in Magnolia Park. I called for this public meeting so that residents concerns could be heard and I was proud of everyone who showed up to speak out.

A metal recycler is applying for an air permit in our community in Houston's East End. The community attended a hearing last night to voice concerns w/ the facility & its proposed permit. Thanks to @AnaHdzTx & team for showing up & mobilizing our community. #EnvironmentalJustice

EPA delays requirements for chemical manufacturers and petroleum refiners to report certain health-harming chemicals. These toxins find their way into surrounding communities. #EnvironmentalJustice thenewlede.org/2026/05/epa-r…

@EPAregion6 hasn't held a community outreach call since JANUARY 2025. They are responsible for 42M+ people across 5 states & 66 tribal nations. We & 44 other orgs sent a meeting request so they can update communities on what they've been doing in our region. #EnvironmentalJustice

📢 Yesterday, Gulf South community leaders marched to oil + gas conference @CERAWeek to confront the fossil fuel execs gathered there. They’re fighting for:
🩺 A system that puts people before fossil fuel profits.
🫶 The survival + wellbeing of loved ones
🌎Our shared home
ALT A crowd marches behind a banner that says "Break the system," with a gator breaking a pipeline with his teeth.

On day 2 of #ConfrontingCERAWeek, we led a workshop for local orgs & movements from around the U.S. on the impact Risk Management Plan facilities have on health & how to access public info on them. We look forward to continued collaboration in this effort. #EnvironmentalJustice

Yesterday, we & 44 organizations sent a letter to @EPARegion6 requesting a community outreach meeting since there hasn't been one in over a year. Swipe to read the full letter, see the other orgs who signed on. #EnvironmentalJustice
