All across the United States, and especially within the Appalachian, Ohio River Valley, and Gulf Coast regions, frontline communities are facing the build-out of the Petrochemical Industry, an industry that turns fossil fuels into plastic.
This school year (September 2026 thru April 2027), the STOP fellowship has 5 goals:
1. Support young people at critical petrochemical “site fight” locations (examples linked here) in organizing for a better future and finding their place in it.
2. Connect and align students with campus resources to the movement against petrochemicals and plastic.
3. Resource students to organize both on-campus & off-campus to disrupt the petrochemical & plastic industry.
4. Build long-lasting, mutually-beneficial relationships between student-led groups in campuses and grassroots organizations.
5. Uplift young people and their voices into the fight against petrochemicals and climate change.
