Our Story
Our Story
We thought that government would protect us—instead they asked us to “make sacrifice.”
Reasonable sacrifice, they called it.
Playing mas is not all we do…
WE ACT
Who We Are
WE ACT is a community-led, non-partisan group in Woodford, St. John, Grenada.
We work to protect public health, water, air, and land—holding industry and government
to clear,
enforceable standards so families can live safely
--- where they call home.
WEACT was formed in May 2025 in response to an environmental threat by a foreign-based company — Rayneau Construction — intent on setting up an industrial complex - lierally on our doorsteps. There were no billboards, as the law requires and no consultation with the community.
The plant was 10 times closer than the regulatory distance The Government, said “make sacrifice…” More than 30 years we had lived nar the Perseverance Dump.Now the quarry and the batching and asphalt plants - and a jetty were being illegally constructed without planning permission and it seems that all the government wanted us to do was to keep calm and carry on.
