Our second victory comes after the release of "EXPOSED: Koch Industries and Cancer Risks." Through our webpage, more than 2,400 people left comments to show solidarity with Mr. Bouie and his neighbors, who have been tragically afflicted by Koch Industries. Mr. Bouie along with Cheryl Slavant of Louisiana Environmental Action Network will confront the Koch brothers with the thousands of messages posted by activists. With communities like West Crossett dying, we can no longer afford to let the Kochs buy their way out of environmental responsibility. Your support, coupled with unprecedented press coverage, is putting pressure on the Koch Brothers and policy makers who can make this right.
These two videos have garnered more than 113,000 views. Our impact would not be possible without your dedication and donations to this investigation. See how you are shifting the narrative by checking out other press from this release.
