About the event

Faith, Fracking and Plastics: A Conversation with Sharon Lavigne
We warmly invite you to a community gathering featuring Sharon Lavigne, the nationally recognized faith leader and environmental justice advocate from Louisiana's Cancer Alley. Sharon is founder of RISE St. James, a faith-based, grassroots nonprofit that led a ‘David vs. Goliath’ battle to stop a massive plastics plant from being built in her Louisiana community.

Her faith, courage, and perseverance in defending the community she calls home from the devastating health effects of pollution has inspired people across the nation. Now, hear her discuss the connection between her struggle in the Gulf South and the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

This event will be held in person at Washington and Jefferson College's Yost Auditorium (located in the Howard J. Burnett Center) on Wednesday, October 22 at 6:30 PM. Tickets are free for all ages, register for yours now at https://secure.everyaction.com/XVtUMHRfW0qKzBOvwj4ktA2?ms=fbevent
