The 2022 We Shall Breathe Virtual Summit is bringing together activists, climate justice experts, artists, and community members to inspire you to help stop the petrochemical industry, particularly in Black and brown communities in Houston, Louisiana, and the Ohio River Valley, which are production epicenters in the United States.

The fossil fuel industry is dying out as we transition to clean energy and electric vehicles. But in order to hold on to dear life they are trying to make a big pivot to plastics as their new big business.

Petrochemicals are the building blocks for plastics, pesticides, clothing, digital devices, and other common products. They are made from oil and natural gas, and contaminate air, water and soil. Emissions from petrochemical production account for 10 to 15 percent of the U.S.’s climate pollution.

Join us at the We Shall Breathe Summit to learn from the leaders on the frontlines who are challenging the petrochemical industry and join the fight.
