The fossil fuel industry's impact on public health is undeniable. Our new study maps out the disproportionate harms at every stage of the coal, oil, and gas lifecycles for Black, Brown, Indigenous and poor communities. (1/n) #fossilfuelracism bit.ly/FFRacism 
The study by @quinn43, @CPichonBattle, @charlieyj12, & me, reveals how racial injustices permeate every stage of fossil fuel production. Fossil fuels require "sacrifice zones," which disproportionately impact Black, Brown, Indigenous, & poor people. (2/n) bit.ly/FFRacism
Black, Brown, Indigenous & poor communities bear a disproportionately high burden of air pollution and climate impacts. As the ‘father of environmental justice’ @DrBobBullard said “The US is segregated, and so is pollution” (3/n). bit.ly/FFRacism
Thank you @AOC I would not be silenced by @RepClayHiggins so let's talk about #petrochemicals in #Louisiana that are disproportionately killing Black people, shattering climate efforts and suffocating the world in plastic and other toxics. A thread.
#Petrochemicals, which are the toxic oil and gas products used to make plastics and pesticides, are #bigoil's big bet - set to be the main consumer of crude oil by 2050 they will shatter climate efforts like the #ParisAgreement: reuters.com/business/envir…
@RepClayHiggins' Louisiana is home to 150 #petrochemical plants - they are a part of the state’s ongoing legacy of #fossilfuelracism, and are killing Black and low-income residents. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…
