Last week, Progress Texas hosted our first ever Climate Justice Town Hall, where we discussed liquified natural gas (LNG) operations in Texas and the major health risks, environmental damages and harms to indigenous and lower income communities that have fallen victim to Big Oil and Gas’ commitment to profits over people.
We learned a great deal from our experienced panelists: John Beard, CEO of Port Arthur Community Action Network, Elida Castillo, Texas Director of Chispa Texas, Emma Guevara, Brownsville Organizer of Sierra Club and Naomi Yoder, GIS Data Manager for The Bullard Center for Environmental and Climate Justice, hosted by Progress Texas Advocacy Manager Reagan Stone.
