IN ST. JAMES PARISH, FOR EXAMPLE, WORK TARGETING THE ST. JAMES PLANNING COMMISSION INCLUDED AN OPEN MEETINGS LAWSUIT AND TOWN HALL MEETINGS THAT CAUSED THE CANCELLATION OF THE BILLION DOLLAR WANHUA CHEMICAL PLANT. THE EARLY WARNING NETWORK WILL FOCUS ON THE AREAS OF THE STATE TARGETED FOR INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION. IN CANCER ALLEY THESE INCLUDE ST. JAMES, ST. JOHN, AS WELL AS ST. CHARLES, ASCENSION, IBERVILLE AND JEFFERSON. THE EARLY WARNING NETWORK IS A PLAN TO DO THREE THINGS: 1/ BUILD OUT A BROADER RESISTANCE TO MORE FACILITIES WITH THE DEPTH ON EACH FACILITY NECESSARY TO WIN; 2/ CONNECT PEOPLE WHO ARE CHALLENGING LOCAL PROJECTS WITH RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THEIR WORK; 3 / FIND OUT ABOUT PROJECTS AT THE EARLIEST STAGES OF PLANNING. THERE IS OFTEN INTERNAL INFORMATION IN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES - THE LOUISIANA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OFFICE, THE GOVERNORS OFFICE, THE ASSESSORS FILES WHERE PROPERTY TRANSFERS ARE RECORDED - YEARS BEFORE A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE. OUR PLAN PROPOSES TO FIND THAT INFORMATION AND ACT ON IT. CURRENT STRATEGY INCLUDES THE CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF A PHYSICAL/DIGITAL TOOLKIT FOR CONCERNED RESIDENTS WITH ACTIONABLE STEPS. 481177 LNG GAS EXPORTS: THERE ARE CURRENTLY PLANS TO BUILD OR EXPAND TWELVE GAS EXPORT TERMINALS IN LOUISIANA - SEVEN IN SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA AND FOUR IN PLAQUEMINES PARISH. WHILE WE ARE SUPPORTING CONCERNED RESIDENTS IN PLAQUEMINES, OUR FOCUS IS ON CAMERON AND CALCASIEU PARISHES IN SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA, WHERE WE ESTABLISHED A ROBUST CAMPAIGN BEGINNING IN EARLY 2022. OUR STRATEGY FOR DEFEATING THIS EXPANSION IS TO IDENTIFY LOCAL RESIDENTS WHO CAN ADVOCATE TO FEDERAL AGENCIES WHILE ALSO CREATING MORE VISIBLE LOCAL RESISTANCE - VIA EVENTS AND MEDIA - TO THE PLANNED EXPANSION. ADDITIONAL STRATEGIES INCLUDE: MAPPING BUILDOUT IMPACTS OF LOCAL FISHING GROUNDS; ACCIDENT AND OPERATIONS WATCH; COMPILING COMMENTS FOR VARIOUS REGULATORY AGENCIES; PARTICIPATION IN COALITION WORK TO UNDERSTAND THE INSURANCE AND FINANCIERS BEHIND PROJECTS; AND INTERNATIONAL COALITION BUILDING. 371142 STANDING WITH ST. JAMES: OUR SIX YEAR LONG COLLABORATION WITH FENCELINE COMMUNITIES IN THE MAJORITY BLACK 4TH AND 5TH DISTRICTS OF ST. JAMES PARISH IS WORK THAT WE CALL STANDING WITH ST. JAMES. THIS WORK IS ANCHORED BY OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF RISE ST. JAMES AND INCLUSIVE LOUISIANA, TWO LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE GROUPS LED BY BLACK WOMEN AND LONG-TIME RESIDENTS WHOSE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN TARGETED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AS PRIME LOCATIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION. WITHOUT A DEDICATED CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT THESE HISTORIC BLACK COMMUNITIES AND POINT OUT THE VERY CLEAR INJUSTICE, THEIR COMMUNITIES WILL BE DESTROYED BY THE EVER EXPANDING PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY. STANDING WITH ST. JAMES STRATEGIES INCLUDE COMMUNITY ORGANIZING, MEDIA CAMPAIGNS, LEGAL ACTION, POLLUTION MONITORING, ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT. 264842 10839 MOVEMENT BUILDING:DOWN BY THE RIVER BIKE RIDE - THE GOAL FOR OUR BIKE RIDE IS TO BUILD INSPIRATION AND POWER BY BRINGING THE POWER OF HISTORY TO TODAYS ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT ALONG CANCER ALLEY. OUR STRATEGY IS TO GET PEOPLE OUT INTO THE COMMUNITIES AND LANDSCAPES WHERE PETROCHEMICAL FACILITIES ARE LOCATED SO THEY CAN SEE THE SCALE OF THE PLANTS, THEIR PROXIMITY AND THEIR IMPACT ON NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS FIRSTHAND. BY EXPLORING THE CONFLUENCE OF BLACK HISTORY IN THE RIVER PARISHES, THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT, AND ECOLOGY ON BIKES RATHER THAN CARS OR A BUS, WE ARE CREATING A DEEPER EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITY. ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT - WE ARE IN THE DEEP SOUTH WHERE RESOURCES FOR FUNDING BLACK-LED GROUPS HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIELDS OF ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE. A CORE PART OF OUR ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY IS CREATING AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT WHERE, RATHER THAN A SCRAMBLE FOR RESOURCES, GROUPS OF ALL SIZES HAVE THEIR FUNDING NEEDS MET. AS MORE MONEY COMES INTO THE CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE SPACE THAN EVER BEFORE, WITH NATIONAL FOUNDATIONS KEEN TO FUND BLACK-LED GROUPS, WE ARE COLLABORATING WITH GROUPS TO ENSURE THAT THIS MONEY IS SPENT WELL, WHILE ALSO MAKING A PLAN FOR HOW THESE GROUPS CAN RETAIN FUNDING WHEN THIS MOMENT HAS PASSED. IN ADDITION TO CO-FACILITATING A BIWEEKLY COHORT OF GRASSROOTS GROUPS, LABB ALSO PROVIDES STAFF TIME TO SUPPORT GROUPS TO DEVELOP BUDGETS, HIRING PROCESSES, AND BUILD OUT THEIR GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES. THE LONG TERM GOAL FOR THIS WORK IS TO SUPPORT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SIX BLACK-LED STAND-ALONE ORGANIZATIONS IN COMMUNITIES IMPACTED BY THE PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN LOUISIANA. 26401 ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION: THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN TO CREATE A SHIFT IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN REGIONS WHERE PLASTIC PRODUCTION AND GAS EXPORT ARE HEAVILY CONCENTRATED. CURRENTLY THAT INCLUDES THE RIVER PARISHES AS WELL AS CAMERON AND CALCASIEU PARISHES. CREATING AND PUBLICIZING NON- PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRIES AND THE RESULTING JOBS WILL FREE RESIDENTS AND LEADERS FROM THE ERRONEOUS ASSUMPTION THAT LOUISIANA NEEDS THIS INDUSTRY IN ORDER TO THRIVE. REFASHIONING THE ECONOMIC IDENTITY OF AREAS DOMINATED BY INDUSTRY IS A CRUCIAL STEP IN THE WORK TO PROTECT LOUISIANA FROM ACCEPTING ALL BAD IDEAS - INCLUDING MAMMOTH PLASTICS PLANTS AND GAS EXPORT TERMINALS - THAT COME OUR WAY. STRATEGIES TO DATE HAVE INCLUDED: JOB FAIRS ADVERTISING FILM AND ENVIRONMENTAL JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN THE RIVER PARISHES; GRANT WRITING WORKSHOPS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PROFICIENT FREELANCE GRANT WRITERS; CONNECTING PARTNERS TO SOLAR AND OTHER RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS; AND CONVENING A GROUP OF RESEARCHERS, PRESERVATION INSTITUTIONS AND NONPROFITS INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING BLACK CULTURAL ECONOMIC DISTRICTS ALONG THE RIVER ROAD. 291243 10839 1985306 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true 44 0 true 19 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X HOPE LEBLANC 5044843433 3416 CANAL STREET B NEW ORLEANS LA 70119 ANNE ROLFES EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 X 131000 0 38395 LISA FLANAGAN CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 10775 0 0 HOLLY WITHERINGTON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CLAIRE GIESEN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY LESEN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JO BANNER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 141775 0 38395 1 false true false 23105 3144699 9144 3167804 SOCIAL VENTURE INCOME 900099 10839 10839 ORGANIZATION FEES 900099 10649 10649 21488 97545 97545 6544 6544 6544 6544 0 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 608 608 608 3293989 22096 0 104089 X 29878 29878 4348 4348 174683 147517 18970 8196 750008 394419 206707 148882 11204 5892 3088 2224 93488 49164 25766 18558 68937 36253 19000 13684 8325 8315 10 26700 26700 582142 570598 880 10664 505659 479573 10968 15118 80064 60759 8022 11283 45331 32822 5919 6590 33550 28672 1114 3764 44077 36389 5958 1730 76276 50304 12288 13684 13387 9374 1899 2114 STAFF DEVELOPMENT 38739 27081 5516 6142 ADMINSTRATIVE FEES 15633 13948 797 888 2602429 1985306 353602 263521 1827701 296939 2531828 4349747 505000 933344 3100 179535 29219 127599 150316 61767 9748 480073 5056995 6220167 113889 114926 470937 113889 585863 X 3597840 3644047 1345266 1990257 4943106 5634304 5056995 6220167 691560 -362 0 X false true X true false X 2048958 2038764 3593100 4789498 3167804 15638124 2048958 2038764 3593100 4789498 3167804 15638124 2892417 12745707 556 1229 2050 16417 97545 117797 15755921 86968 0.80890 0.79550 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 69990 69990 71900 3541 68359 37645 25678 11967 150316 RIGHT OF USE LEASE ASSET 480073 480073 LEASE LIABILITY 470937 470937 X 3293627 -362 -362 3293989 3293989 2602429 2602429 2602429 Part X, Line 2-Text in footnote regarding FIN 48 (ASC 740) THE LOUISIANA BUCKET BRIGADE IS ORGANIZED AS A LOUISIANA NONPROFIT CORPORATION AND HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE IRS AS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER IRC SECTION 501(A) AS AN ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN IRS SECTIONS 501(C)(3), QUALIFIES FOR THE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION DEDUCTION, AND HAS BEEN DETERMINED NOT TO BE A PRIVATE FOUNDATION.
