Environmental Defenders threaten the status quo and the bottom lines of the world's wealthiest people, and they remain among the world’s most targeted activists insideclimatenews.org/news/2206202... #EnvironmentalJustice

The chemical disaster in Garden Grove shows the need for preparing communities for chemical disaster response. The fallout can linger for months as chemicals dissipate into the air, soil, & water, affecting long-term public health #EnvironmentalJustice calmatters.org/environment/...

The water crisis in Corpus Christi is a result of decades of the state's disregard for climate change. Prolonged droughts, combined w/ substantial water use by the oil, gas, & petrochemical industries, have exacerbated the problem. #EnvironmentalJustice insideclimatenews.org/news/2506202...

We are excited to join a powerful panel conversation for the @greenpeaceusa climate doc @gaslitdoc theatrical screening at The River Oaks Theatre, Mon July 6 at 7:15pm. 🎥 🍿 🎟️ Watch the trailer and buy tickets at GaslitDoc.com #GaslitDoc #FollowThePipelines #EnvironmentalJustice

It's been one month since the GKN disaster that displaced thousands of residents. Now that the community wants answers. #EnvironmentalJustice www.plasticsnews.com/opinion/kick...

Rev Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus: Plastics are the New Civil Rights fight. ✊️ The petrochemicals industry has continually poisoned and displaced communities of color. #EnvironmentalJustice wordinblack.com/2026/06/hip-...

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

Toxic chemicals affect us from infancy: Hormone-disrupting chemicals released during plastic production & subsequent plastic products pass from mother to child through breastmilk. Our health deserves strict chemical regulation #EnvironmentalJustice www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Houston Chronicle invites #WorldCup visitors to drive on HWY 225 to see & smell the petrochemical industry. We ask you to also notice the homes, schools & parks; consider the impact living next to industrial pollution has on communities. #EnvironmentalJustice www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outl...

Heavy rain is already disrupting events in Houston, but larger issues exist when floods damage sensitive petrochemical facilities, potentially causing chemical disasters that affect communities. #EnvironmentalJustice www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

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 Chemical Safety Board #EnvironmentalJustice

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 www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

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. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n... #EnvironmentalJustice

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

🆕 briefing! As the #ClimateCrisis worsens, one thing is crystal clear: The climate talks are falling short! The key sticking point? Consensus kills ambition! At #SB64, the call to #FixTheUNFCCC is growing louder. Read more in our NEW briefing: www.ciel.org/reports/voti... A 🧵

While AI data centers strain water resources, oil & gas facilities consume even more water, deepening the crisis our state is facing. #EnvironmentalJustice www.houstonchronicle.com/business/ene...

✊️ Communities in Chicago have successfully pushed through a bill that requires regulators to consider the cumulative impacts of toxic exposure from multiple sources in communities. This bill also establishes an office for #EnvironmentalJustice insideclimatenews.org/news/0306202...

EPA Climate Rollback Counts Savings, Downplays Costs www.bloomberg.com/news/article... #EnvironmentalJustice

Human-caused climate change has increased hurricane intensity. Facilities handling hazardous materials need to prepare for power loss to prevent chemical emissions & provide comprehensive safety training for workers. Recs from the Chem Safety Board: www.csb.gov/us-chemical-... #EnvironmentalJustice

As we enter hurricane season, the Trump admin has made it harder for the federal government to adequately respond to natural disasters. When those disasters happen, communities near petrochemical infrastructure are most at risk. #EnvironmentalJustice

Recent chemical disasters show the impacts of chemical industry deregulation, like Risk Management Program rollbacks. Death & displacement aren't trade-offs for profits. Workers & communities bear the risk of unsustainable industry. #EnvironmentalJustice thehill.com/policy/energ...

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

"Multigenerational effects are the real threat." Our Dir. Yvette Arellano & other ej leaders speak on the chemical disaster at the GKN plastic production plant in Garden Grove, CA, which forced 50,000 residents to evacuate. #EnvironmentalJustice www.breakfreefromplastic.org/2026/05/29/b...

The EPA plans rules for ‘unreasonable’ workplace EDC exposure, including the toxic chemical 1,2-dichloroethane, which is used in the vinyl production process. #EnvironmentalJustice www.plasticsnews.com/public-polic...

Proposed FEMA flood maps place hundreds of Houston industrial sites in higher-risk zones. When these facilities experience power loss, they typically pollute more without penalties. #EnvironmentalJustice www.houstonchronicle.com/projects/202...

Plastic production harms & endangers communities. Plastics companies mislead us into thinking our grocery stores need plastic. Join us through June 30th to audit plastic prevalence in supermarkets worldwide to encourage a reduction in plastic use. #EnvironmentalJustice

EPA postpones reporting window for ‘forever chemicals’ rule, which can increase toxic exposure. #EnvironmentalJustice www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/epa-postpone...

Big thanks to the volunteers for coming out early Saturday to participate in the #InternationalPelletCount! We collected 1,400 pellets from Brays Bayou in 30 minutes. This is critical in showing decision-makers the pollution levels in our environment. #EnvironmentalJustice

Not only are microplastics polluting and invading our bodies, they are also contributing to climate change by globally distributing heat. #EnvironmentalJustice www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Exposure to toxic chemicals used in plastics combined with the effects of global warming are causing fertility rates to plummet across species. #EnvironmentalJustice www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

The Trump admin continues to show how little it values human lives as it ends a program that tracked excessive carcinogen levels at industrial facilities. #EnvironmentalJustice @lee_hedgepeth @insideclimate insideclimatenews.org/news/1102202...

Worker safety in hazardous petrochemical facilities begins w/ plans that prioritize workers' health. The Chemical Safety Board found problems in PEMEX communication with workers, resulting in a 2024 disaster that killed 2 people. #EnvironmentalJustice www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

The EPA proposed revisions to the #RiskManagementProgram that remove protections against potential chemical accidents & access to facility info. Read our public comment supporting regulations to prevent toxic harm to communities. #EnvironmentalJustice www.fencelinewatch.org/news-2/fence...
