As we speak, Formosa Plastics is trying to build a massive petrochemicals complex in St. James Parish. It would double toxic emissions there. The residents of St. James Parish — who are predominantly Black — already suffer from cancer rates 50 x higher than the national average.
.@BankofAmerica is Formosa Plastics’ most important U.S. bank, and it’s one of the top financiers of plastics in the world. As people of faith, we call on #BankOfAmerica to denounce environmental racism and publicly pledge to not fund the destructive Sunshine Project.
Do you bank with @BankofAmerica, @Chase, @Citibank, or @WellsFargo? Join 10,000 other customers in signing an open letter demanding that these banks stop funding the fossil fuel industry.
