Residents in one of Louisiana’s most heavily-industrialized parishes sued their local government in federal court, accusing officials of cramming petrochemical plants into Black communities. From WWNO:
In the scathing lawsuit, two local groups and one church alleged that the St. James Parish Council and Planning Commission have used the parish’s land use plan and zoning to encourage the plants to build in predominantly Black areas in the parish. At the same time, they argued the land use plan has prevented those plants from being built in St. James’ white communities.
The lawsuit, filed by Inclusive Louisiana, Rise St. James and Triumph Baptist Church, called the land use plan discriminatory and argued that it violates the residents’ rights under the 13th and 14th amendments, as well as the state constitution. They also claimed the plan violates the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act and their property rights under the Civil Rights Act.
