| A Historic Victory in Louisiana’s Cancer Alley |
|
For nearly a decade, residents of St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana have fought tirelessly for something most people take for granted: the right to breathe clean air. In 2018 the EPA released data showing that a census tract in St. John faced the highest cancer risk from toxic air pollution in the nation — 85% of it traced to a single facility owned by Denka, a multinational chemical manufacturer.
Residents organized, marched, petitioned, sued, and even traveled across the globe to confront the company poisoning their community. Now, they’ve won a long-overdue reprieve.
On May 13, 2025, Denka announced it suspended production at its St. John facility due to mounting financial losses. Denka said it does not intend to restart operations for an indefinite period. Throughout the fight, Earthjustice represented community groups in St. John.

| Securing Safe, Lead-Free Drinking Water |
A Republican-run Congress attempted to repeal lead exposure protections, endangering millions of lives in the U.S. We fought back — and won.
Nearly 22 million people across all 50 states still drink water through lead pipes. That problem was finally set to get solved with the passage of a key regulation last year and a significant funding stream to replace all the remaining lead pipes in America. Then, suddenly, that progress was in jeopardy. Republicans introduced a bill in Congress to repeal the regulation, endangering millions of U.S. lives. But thanks to public pressure, the bill missed a critical deadline, protecting the progress made on this issue. |
