ABOUT THE MARCH
We March and Second Line On.
When Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast 20 years ago, Black people and poor people were left to die in the richest country in the world. Each year on the anniversary we commemorate our loved ones we lost and demand justice and a just future.

We continue to demand
Make August 29th a state and local holiday commemorating the lives lost in Katrina.
Racial, economic, and climate justice through investment in our communities and divestment from the systems and institutions that harm our communities.
Investment in education, health, housing, and Black businesses.
Divesting from fossil fuels and investing in a just transition for climate solutions.
