The Louisiana Bucket Brigade is a great organization cleaning up our air here in caner alley. I signed up as a $15 monthly sustainer to support their work all year. My donation is going toward supporting their grassroots approach of working with communities next to oil refineries to get organized and stand up for our air. After hurricane Issac, I was astounded by the lack of information about chemical accidents. The Bucket Brigade and their partners did a fly over of a number of accident sights and provided photos to the Times-Picayune. On top of that, I got an email describing the situation and keeping me informed. I appreciate all the work they do for Louisiana and support them however I can.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Civil Rights, Environment, Minority Rights
Mission: To support communities' use of grassroots action in order to create sustainable neighborhoods free from industrial pollution.
Programs: Community support: our collaboration with residents of st. Rose resulted in a commitment by the state department of environmental quality to out an air monitoring network in st. Rose. We also prevented the release of an additional 119 tons of pollution in the neighborhood.
no new leases: we had several events at the bureau of ocean energy management to emphasize the dangers of drilling, including climate change and exacerbated floods. The public outcry that we organized helped achieve a drilling ban in the arctic and atlantic coasts.
movement building: we were active members of the greenarmy. We also began supporting the community of st. James in their opposition to the bayou bridge pipeline. The goal of this work is to strengthen the movement, as well as to support this specific community.
