On September 8, just days before the 2018 Global Climate Action Summit, Louisianans will RISE for Cancer Alley in solidarity with thousands of communities around world to demand local leaders make "public, actionable commitments to a fast and fair transition to a fossil free world, powered by 100% renewable energy for all."
From Gordon Plaza and the Agriculture St Landfill to St. James and the Bayou Bridge Pipeline, activists will travel more than 60 miles to highlight the enduring legacy of environmental, racial, and economic segregation and injustice throughout Louisiana's Petrochemical Corridor -- aka "Cancer Alley".
