John,

Tomorrow is the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. This marks 15 years
of recovery and resilience of Gulf communities. Just this week, Laura,
described as an “unsurvivable” Category 4 hurricane, hit Louisiana and
Texas, devastating communities and forcing thousands to evacuate. 

These storms disproportionately impact Black communities, on top of
ongoing pandemics of COVID-19 and [ [link removed] ]police violence. In the past week,
Louisiana police murdered Trayford Pellerin and Wisconsin police shot
Jacob Blake in front of his children. Nationwide, people are calling for
the end of this horrific, state-sanctioned violence. It’s time to unite
together for change. 

Will you join us in solidarity with our partners, the Movement for Black
Lives, Gulf South for a Green New Deal, and Hip Hop Caucus for two
important events this week in the fight for climate and racial justice? 

 1. [ [link removed] ]2020 Black National Convention: Tonight, August 28 at 7pm ET/4pm
PT, M4BL is hosting the 2020 Black National Convention to build power
and policy. 

 2. [ [link removed] ]15th Annual Katrina March & Second Line: Tomorrow, August 29 at
noon ET/9am PT Hip Hop Caucus is hosting a commemoration of the 15th
anniversary of Katrina to celebrate resiliency and demand a just
future. 

These will be key opportunities to grow your knowledge and learn steps you
can take to support the movement for Black lives. We cannot combat the
climate crisis without addressing systemic violence towards Black
communities. 

To build a more just world, we need to reimagine how we care for our
communities by defunding the police and ensuring a just recovery from the
compounding crises we face today.

Let’s demand justice, together.

Dominique
