Community members in Plaquemines Parish have been fighting the construction of the RAM coal terminal with the help of the Gulf Restoration Network and other allies, and their campaign has paid off. A judge has halted the terminals construction. Who knows what kind of machinations loom on the horizon, but this is a big win for Ironton residents, whose neighborhood would have been completely hemmed in by dirty industry; and its another victory in a long history of environmental justice in Louisiana. St. John Parish residents took down the Formosa Plant scheme; Diamond residents took on Shell; and now Ironton has pushed back this beast. I love when people fight the racist dystopia that our political leaders have envisioned. Luv it. Luuuuv it. theadvocate/news/11214622-123/judge-orders-dnr-to-reconsider
