John Beard, Jr., is a petrochemical worker turned environmental advocate living on the frontlines of fossil fuel pollution in Port Arthur, TX. John Beard’s organization, Port Arthur Community Action Network, partnered with Earthjustice and Earthworks to bring members of Congress to Port Arthur to see the impacts of the oil, gas, and petrochemical build out.
Our friend John Beard Jr. did a powerful video with Earthjustice showing the harsh reality faced by Port Arthur, Texas, residents because of plastic. John showed us around Port Arthur earlier this year, and it is truly shocking, when you see it with your own eyes, how any of this is legal and happening in our country. School sports fields surrounded by smokestacks, a chemical smell in the air that never goes away, flares as far as the eye can see, homes surrounded by facilities pumping toxic chemicals into the air. And it's no coincidence these companies chose to set up shop in a predominantly Black, low-income community. Plastic is poison, and areas like Port Arthur are being especially impacted by it.
