In mid-February, about 200 residents from across the Rio Grande Valley gathered to march from Washington Park down the streets of Historic Brownsville to raise concerns of climate change impacts, indigenous resistance to fossil fuels, environmental racism, the proposed LNG export terminals, fracking, pipelines, poor drainage and flooding in Valley colonias, diseases spread by climate change: zika virus, the Donna, TX toxic Superfund site, and the polluting Alamo, TX wastewater treatment facility.
