Earth Ministry/Washington Interfaith Power & Light Executive Director LeeAnne Beres is quoted in this press release. This press release discusses the moral injustice of the Tacoma LNG plant and how advocates are joining together with the Puyallup Tribe to speak out against the inaccurate Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS). LeeAnne states,“The Puyallup Tribe, citizens of Tacoma, and residents of the Salish Sea have a right to know the total local and global impacts of the LNG facility being built on the Tacoma Tideflats.

People of faith add our voice to the chorus calling for the City of Tacoma to commission a more thorough Environmental Impact Statement and for PSCAA to deny the facility’s air permit until such a review is complete.”
