Urban League of Louisiana

The Louisiana Bucket Brigade is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending the destructive impact of the petrochemical industry in Louisiana. For over 20 years, they have worked closely with communities located near industrial sites that pollute the air, water, and soil. Through their efforts, they empower residents to raise their voices and overcome challenges, striving for a healthier and pollution-free future. The organization recognizes the significant stakes involved, as polluting oil refineries and chemical plants not only harm families and wipe out entire towns, but also contribute to land loss, climate change, and greenhouse gas emissions. Their vision for Louisiana is a state that values people and the environment over profit, aiming for a prosperous and pollution-free future. Through their advocacy, monitoring, and community support, the Louisiana Bucket Brigade is actively working towards achieving this vision.Generated from the website
