People Power and Light is working to create a future in which the River Parishes of Southeast Louisiana are clean and healthy places to live, work, and raise a family. 

We’re building a movement to protect our community from dangerous and polluting petrochemical companies, to encourage the growth of local businesses, and to prioritize the health and safety of residents over the profit of corporations.

People Power and Light is a 501c4 organization committed to fostering a thriving economy in the River Parishes of Louisiana, a region deeply affected by the petrochemical industry.

Born and raised in communities directly impacted by the petrochemical industry, our founders have dedicated their lives to driving positive change and advocating for environmental justice.

Our Mission

Our mission at People Power and Light is to empower local communities to address the pressing issues of pollution, environmental justice, and civil rights.

Our Approach

At People Power and Light, we believe in the power of grassroots activism and community engagement to drive positive change in environmental justice and civil rights.

We prioritize a multi-faceted approach to achieving our goals. We engage with local communities through education, outreach, and advocacy initiatives, empowering individuals to become active participants in the fight for environmental justice.
