Stop Environmental Racism in the 9th Ward

Fight the Industrial Canal Expansion

There are NO Jobs or Benefits for Impacted Communities
It Only Benefits Trump Mega-Fundraiser Bollinger Shipyards
Waste of 1 Billion of Taxpayer dollars
Barge Traffic carrying toxins is Dangerous for the large bordering neighborhoods
Damage from pile driving near homes will lower property values and the Corps is protected from liability.
This Project calls for a 2^nd Canal to be dug in the Lower 9, which will leave homes more vulnerable to flooding.
Construction will disturb heavy metals, contaminate the canal, and pollute the entire City.
Impede traffic flow, including those driving into St. Bernard, and threaten the community during hurricane season.
Existing canal has been improperly maintained, due to nonunion work.
Mitigation money should be used to pay reparations to the community for past damages

Problems with the New Freeway

Through the 8^th & 9^th Wards

Benefits only St. Bernard Parish & no benefits to Orleans Parish
Trucks can easily use Paris Rd. in St. Bernard to get to I-10
100 Affordable Housing units will be TORN DOWN in Lower 9
New Bridges & Bike Paths can be built without this Freeway
