We must move beyond petrochemicals and stop the expansion of the petrochemical industry.

The Fight Against Petrochemicals
Hip Hop Caucus, alongside the Beyond Petrochemicals Campaign and countless community-led organizations, is organizing a fight against the petrochemical industry. Petrochemicals are Big Oil’s Last Lifeline to pollute our communities and sicken our people for profits. Petrochemical facilities use extremely toxic feedstocks to convert oil and gas into plastic byproducts. These products end up filling plants, incinerators, landfills that are also disproportionately sited in Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. We can reclaim our communities from toxic petrochemical pollution.
