Environmental racism remains a deadly reality in Cancer Alley, Louisiana, where Black communities are exposed to dangerous toxins from petrochemical plants at a staggering rate. The local activist group RISE St. James and other advocates have continued their battle for justice, urging the government to enforce stricter environmental protections and halt new fossil fuel projects. Despite small victories, like the EPA’s recent rule limiting ethylene oxide emissions, Cancer Alley remains one of the most toxic areas in the country—a sacrifice zone for profit at the expense of public health.
