Happy Pride Month! The DSCEJ promotes the rights of all people to be free from environmental harm, particularly communities of color along the Mississippi River Chemical Corridor and the broader Gulf Coast Region. Queer liberation and environmental justice are deeply connected. Both seek to challenge and dismantle systems of oppression, ensuring that everyone - regardless of who they love or where they live- can thrive. #DSCEJ #LGBTQ #PRIDE
