We are stewards of God’s Earth!

As a multi-faith movement, GreenFaith is committed to stopping fossil fuel financing through organizing grassroots people of faith to take action publicly. We are in full solidarity with @risestjames in their movement to #DefundFormosa Plastics. Activists outside the Bank of America headquarters in Charlo
This week, the Charlotte (North Carolina) GreenFaith Circle and friends met with @BankOfAmerica’s VP for Communications, Kelly Sapp, to deliver a petition with more than 100k signatures demanding #BankOfAmerica declare publicly it will not fund Formosa Plastics' new plant.
Formosa Plastics is trying to build a massive 14-facility petrochemicals complex in St. James Parish, Louisiana, the heart of what is known as “Cancer Alley.” If it succeeds, it would double toxic emissions there.
St. James Parish, like many Black, Indigenous and Latino communities, is disproportionately affected by pollution and illness due to petrochemical plants.

@BankOfAmerica is Formosa Plastics’ most important U.S. bank, and it’s one of the top financiers of plastics in the world.
Wherever you are, show solidarity with @RiseStJames and the people of St. James Parish by adding your name to the petition here. #DefundFormosa #FaithInFossilFreeFinance #Faiths4Climate #StopFormosa

"Lavigne credits her faith for getting her to this point.

'I know he has me here for a reason, so I want to do his will,' Lavigne said. 'I want to do the work that he wants me to do. He put a fight in me that I can’t even explain."

Read this great piece on @risestjames and how her faith compelled her to take action for climate justice in her community, St. James Parish, Louisiana.

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.
