Join the movement to co-create a community-designed policy that addresses Black New Orleanians’ needs for equity and liberation!

Building Community Power is a collaborative policy design series that confronts our community’s major concerns with radical imagination and this month, we’re focusing our visioning on climate justice!

Collaborate with passionate advocates, experts, and fellow changemakers to imagine a world where communities thrive in harmony with the environment, equipped with the tools they need to combat climate change and advance sustainability.

From 10am to 12pm, we’re joined by Taproot Earth to kick things off with the Katrina20 Local Committee meeting. The Katrina 20 Local Committee is a community-led collective tasked with commemorating the 20 years of survival, resistance, culture, joy and community power displayed in the aftermath of Katrina and subsequent climate disasters.

Then, from 12pm to 2pm, we’ll dive deep into discussions on the future of climate and environmental justice right here in New Orleans. We’ll have lunch, share stories, and brainstorm solutions.

Join us as we plant seeds for a greener tomorrow. 🌱
