Join the Center for Constitutional Rights at the oral argument in Inclusive Louisiana, Mount Triumph Baptist Church, RISE St. James v. St. James Parish, et al. This lawsuit challenging environmental racism in Cancer Alley seeks a moratorium on all new sitings of industrial petrochemical facilities and expansions of existing facilities, protection of unmarked cemeteries of people once enslaved in the Parish, and a court-monitored process involving directly-affected communities to help assess remediation and guide transformation.

The hearing is scheduled for October 7 at 1 p.m. CST in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the audio will also be streamed on the court website. Following the hearing, we will hold an in-person press conference and live stream it on the Center for Constitutional Rights YouTube channel.
