POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Join me this weekend at the Black Urban Growers Conference for my workshop! 🌱

Titled: The Making of a Sustainable, Well- Connected Community, we pose the question:

What can historic Black models of cooperative economic and self-determination teach us about designing healthy, sustainable Black communities today? Attendees will understand cooperative economics by examining research on historical Black co-ops. We’ll build on this by discussing sustainable practices for climate resilience, and finalizing the model with sharing engagement strategies that build collective vision and power for a stronger, healthier community overall. 💵🤝🏽🌳

I’ll be co-facilitating this workshop with @jal0n1 of @thedeepsouthbaby and @theebeegees of @bgenolahub 🩷 our session is at 3:05pm!

Tomorrow marks 21 years since Hurricane Katrina forever changed New Orleans.

In the decades since, communities have worked to rebuild their lives and their city—and shown where government policies on disaster preparedness and response fail.

As climate change intensifies across the world, Black and other communities of color face increasingly severe disasters.

But Katrina’s own survivors, as well as climate journalists and environmental advocates, have lessons we can take to recover.

It’s been 21 years since Hurricane Katrina, a storm that took so much from so many and forever changed the lives of people across the Gulf Coast. For our Communications Manager, Bobbie, this anniversary is deeply personal. She survived Katrina, and the experience continues to shape how she sees community, recovery, and the work of making sure survivors feel seen and supported.

Her art piece from our Stolen Summers tour, created by the extraordinary @radicistudios, says it all “We lost everything, but not our love, belief in community, and determination to work for a better future for all.”

Alright y’all, we need you to lock in with us💪🏽

With #earlyvoting right around the corner in #Louisiana, we’re creating space to break down what’s on the ballot, refresh our civic knowledge, and take a closer look at where candidates stand on climate, environmental, and community issues.

At a time when #Black political power across the South continues to face challenges, making room for connection, learning, and collective action matters more than ever.

Shoutout to @jal0n1 who will be leading part of this critical convo 💜

We gotta show out for our collective liberation and empowerment. All of these problems root from the same stem of greed and enviromental disregard. Our elected officials would rather us give away free money than begin the deep and necessary work of system change out of this disposable reality that they rubber stamp. On Tuesday at 12:30pm, join us at City Hall to say “Yes!” to recycling expansion and “No!” to data center development in New Orleans. Together we fight back! Please sign the 🔗 in bio.

When:
12:30pm —> deliver “save New Orleans’ EPA SWIFR grant” petitions to the Mayor and City Council.
1:30pm —> go to council chambers to hear updates on “Interim Zoning District” from CPC and demand a moratorium on Data Centers in New Orleans.

Where:
In front of city hall. In council chambers.

Bobbie Green didn’t just hear about Hurricane Katrina. She lived it.

“My family and I were displaced for 10 months. That’s 10 months in a whole other city, state. That’s 10 months being referred to as refugees when just a few days before evacuation, I had a home, a community, that was since ripped away,” writes Green for this issue of Peace & Riot.

That experience shaped how Green sees the world and ultimately set her on a path to becoming an organizer and advocate for environmental justice and community.

As the New Orleans Hub leader for Black Girl Environmentalist, Green’s work includes inspiring Black women, girls and gender expansive people to find their role within the climate movement:

“I am committed, as a younger organizer, to continuing to sponge up resources from climate leaders that look like me.”

That’s right—Peace & Riot is BACK with Issue 04! ✨

This issue focuses on disaster resilience for the people.

“Disaster resilience isn’t just about weathering storms—it’s about organizing, protecting one another, and holding those in power accountable,” writes @abre_conner, Director of the Center for Environmental and Climate Justice at @naacp in this issue’s opening letter.

In this latest edition, made possible by @beyondpetrochemicals, we explore how people power is at the center of disaster resilience.

Counterstream Co-Founder Shilpi Chhotray interviews activist Sharon Lavigne of @risestjames on community organizing, journalist @yessfun takes a deeper look into the shortcomings of hurricane recovery, @heathermcteertoney argues that we are living through Ark-building times, and eight other stories spotlight what communities, particularly in the Gulf South, have learned from living through disaster.
