The storm has passed.

Now, it's time to work on rebuilding. New Orleans is often called the most resilient community in the world. You've seen that many times before, and it's clearer than ever this week.

But New Orleans is more than resilient. We're persistent.

We don't just wait out our challenges. We take action with intentionality to provide mutual aid and come back stronger. 

Our city persists through this pandemic - not only its onset, but every wave that has hit since then. We persist through the economic crisis that it brought.
