We attended the Cameron County commissioner's meeting this morning to make public comments opposing tax abatements for Texas LNG and Rio Grande LNG. The fight is not over. We can still urge the Commissioners to vote NO. Will follow up with ways to take action.

We want Boca Chica Beach back.

We don't want a rec center & sushi restaurant because the community doesn't need this trash.

This week, Army Corps of Engineers USACE HQ approved a permit for SpaceX to destroy more wetlands on Boca Chica Beach despite opposition from 200 public comments & dozen local organizations.

Read our response - South Texas Environmental Justice Network:

Went back home to the Rio Grande Valley to report on liquid methane gas export terminals.

They are as dirty as millions of cars and set to ship gas into the 2040s. As legal efforts fall short, residents are lobbying Europeans to reject gas from the U.S. capitalandmain.com/the-transatlan…

A coalition of groups in South Texas are suing the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for authorizing a controversial land swap that would give SpaceX state parkland. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t… via @houstonchron

Dr. Christopher Basaldú - STX Environmental Justice Network: “We’re suing Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept because they do not take the concerns of the local community seriously and should help preserve our beach & surrounding environment rather than sell it off to the highest bidder'

Juan Mancias Juan Mancias, the Tribal Chairman for the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas:

“Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission cannot be allowed to give our lands with archeological remains to SpaceX to use as a testing playground.'

Update: We're suing!!

RGV organizations denounced Texas Parks & Wildlife for allowing a land grab of Boca Chica State Park land for a private space corporation, SpaceX, that is clearly not in the public interest.

Read the press release: bit.ly/TPWDlawsuit

“In the RGV, fossil fuel CEOs are colonizing and destroying our lands w/out the consent of the people who live here and w/out the consent of the original, indigenous people of the land… Hitting pause on new LNG projects is a start, but we have a long way to go' - Dr. C Basaldú

Not another inch of Boca Chica beach to SpaceX!

SpaceX is applying for a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers to destroy more wetlands on the beach. We & a dozen other RGV organizations oppose this.

Even after several emails & the questions sent in during the AGM, the bank remains silent on Rio Grande LNG. Santander, when will you take your responsibility starting with committing to meet with community members as requested before? Another Gulf Is Possible

Santander provided $1.2 bn to Rio Grande LNG. The project is in a predominantly Latinx community already struggling with poverty & health issues & encloses land sacred to the Carrizo/​Comecrudo Tribe. A broad coalition is fighting to stop the project. canarymedia.com/articles/lique…

Last Friday was Santander's AGM. Together with Bekah Hinojosa, we sent in questions on Rio Grande LNG in Texas. Besides financing 8 LNG terminals in the Gulf South, the bank has now also watered down its policies to allow for the financing of fracking.

I’m taking this guy’s deposition on Wednesday about a ridiculously stupid media hoax he promoted.

Stop SpaceX from expanding its operations on Boca Chica Beach and destroying even more wetlands, killing wildlife, and threatening public safety with rockets.
