Fellow Green,

The Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy invites you and members of your organizations and community to join us in commemorating 14 years of recovery since Hurricane Katrina. Together participants will highlight the power and resilience in 14 years of Katrina recovery, and connect the dots between the Climate and Environmental Justice struggles throughout the Gulf South.

The communities of South Louisiana’s Plaquemines Parish are on the frontline of the climate crisis dealing with the first hits of a storm and some of the most severe land loss due to sea level rise on the planet. #Katrina14: Honoring Legacies of Courage will uplift and honor frontline local leadership advancing good work on the ground for the last fourteen years and beyond. Join us on Thursday, August 29, 2019 from 12:00 – 3:00 pm at the Percy Griffin Center (15577 Hwy 15, Braithwaite, LA 70040). Food and childcare will be provided. Click here to RSVP and join us! Note: Media Permitted.

Increased intensity of storms, hotter temperatures, flooding, drought and sea level rise are indeed connected to industrial pollution and extractive industries. We must confront these intersecting issues and build a vision for something better together. #K14 Connecting the Dots on Environmental & Climate Justice will offer information and skills sessions on the impact of extractive infrastructure in the Gulf. Join us on Saturday, August 31st from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. at the Buras Community Center (36342 Hwy 11, Buras, LA 70041). Food and childcare will be provided. Click here to RSVP and join us! Note: Media Prohibited.
