Roseland, LA
#SmittysSupply
Last year, Louisiana became the focal point for the erosion of civil rights protections against environmental injustice. A state court case stopped the federal government from using the Civil Rights Act to block the expansion of toxic facilities in Black communities. Now, under the Trump administration, permits for polluting plants are being approved with little oversight. Facilities are also allowed to release more chemicals into the environment as parts of the Clean Air Act get weakened. For days, an industrial explosion led to a fire burning in Roseland, Louisiana, a predominantly Black town about 60 miles northeast of Baton Rouge. The cause of the explosion is under investigation. (Courtesy of the EPA) At the same time, the administration has moved to repeal a Biden administration rule that strengthened the country's ability to plan for and address the fallout from hazardous industrial events. These disasters overwhelmingly burden Black families, who are more likely to live nearby and face the greatest health, economic, and environmental harms.
