When: Tuesday, October 11th at 6:00 p.m.
Where: Washington Park, corner of 7th street and Madison street in Brownsville, TX.
Residents from Brownsville, South Padre Island,and the Port Isabel communities will hold banners, signs, and speak out about the hazards of the proposed LNG industrial complex. If built, the LNG facilities would be the largest polluter in Cameron County.
After the rally, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will hold a public meeting for the Texas LNG Air Quality Permit inside the Historic Brownsville Museum at 7:00 p.m., located across the street from Washington Park on 641 E. Madison St. This is a very important opportunity for Valley residents to make a public comment opposing any air pollution permits for LNG.
Yes, I will attend the Rally and TCEQ Public Meeting. (click here to commit to attending.)
Children are welcome. Please invite family, friends, and neighbors.

We need jobs! I'm pro-LNG. Support it if you want food on your table, people!
no, I will not attend. Fuck you, we need jobs!
Good clean energy and jobs. Lets GO LNG!!!
What good is a low paying job (the high paying jobs will go to the people with Master's and white anglo saxons that come from up north) when you run into the danger of having an explosion. You will not have a job and you will not have a home. You will have contaminated fish, high cancer rates (higher than now). Want jobs? Tell Gov. Abbot to bring the maquiladoras in Matamoros to the Brownsville side.
This liquid gas company will do the same thing as Union Carbide (if you are over 45 you remember them). They left with the tail between their legs, the area where the plant was took over 35 years to decontaminate. Dont want to attend that meeting, well; dont attend but remember that when contamination happens and you didn't help at all. Your children and the future generations of Brownsville will thank you for their "jobs".
Maquiladoras? they've been in the region for 35 years and look where YOU are.
Besides - other than just calling them and telling them, Hey come to Brownsville. Can you provide me with a business plan so I can at least try to sell them the idea that the won't have to pay $1,000 pesos in labor a week for laborers but instead they'll now pay $5,760 pesos!! (40 hours X $8.00 (which will do NOTHING for Brownsville - we already have all the $8.00 an hour jobs in the world))
Ill be patiently waiting for the business plan. It'll be an instant hit!
What good are the few grunt jobs when the environment is destroyed? Tourism destroyed? Property values destroyed? Shrimping, fishing destroyed? Channel access destroyed? Come on you all who are too lazy to drag yourselves out of your ignorant stupor, wake up. These are LNG EXPORT TERMINALS what is taken out of the natural gas to make it liquified stays here in our air, water and land. It is a massive amount of daily pollution output for each facility. Also the fracking it takes to get the gas out of the ground and the pipelines to move the gas do horrible damage to the environment too. Once it's here it's too late to save what we have.
i thought it meant , 'L'esbian 'A'nd 'G'ay .....oops i was already on my way to the "anti- LNG" rally......
I already have a job and food on the table. I don't want cancer.
Another Anti LNG event with very low turnout. mostly older retirees who could not enter the job market even if they wanted to. LNG is coming old people like it or not. It about jobs, not the view from your nursing homes. Don't like it? Go back to Minnesota. Same idiots who got their asses kicked by SpaceX. Same idiots who protested the wind farms off of the south Texas coast.
Very sad. Someone organized a group of local veterans to attend, gave them signs to wear about Clean Air for the World. They've already sacrificed for their country and now they should sacrifice clean air here so that other parts of the world, where the LNG will go, will have clean air. Very sad. Heartbreaking to listen and watch.
As a "bridge" fuel, until we can get to a renewable economy, the science is in. Gas is dirtier than coal.
The largest polluter in Cameron County is the citizens! Our citizens are a greater danger than any new industry. The same people who won't recycle, dump their trash on their neighbots, treat our environment as if it were a dump site....our neighbors are a worst hazard than any LNG industry.
LNG on the way. Fuck off old hippie protesters. You lost.
