Friend,
When Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast 15 years ago, Black people and poor people were left to die in the richest country in the world. This week, with another hurricane bearing down on Louisiana and state-sanctioned violence against Black people in Wisconsin, we are resolved to fight for justice.
Hurricane Katrina makes plain that climate justice is racial justice and racial justice is climate justice.
The annual commemoration of those we lost to Katrina will be streamed online this year, so Hip Hop Caucus can bring this important event to a wider audience. And we have a plan to build on the sorrow to make permanent changes, so that fifteen years from today we aren’t mourning another Black person murdered by police or lost to climate disaster. We can’t do it without your support--donate to Hip Hop Caucus today!
When you stand with us, you are saying that Black Lives Matter. You are saying that the bloody history of this country is a story that ends now. You are saying, firmly and materially, that you have our backs as we fight for the things that matter.
2020 is The Year of Truth. It is the year we mourn the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and fight for a world free of racialized violence of all forms--be it climate violence, police violence, economic violence, political violence, or the sheer direct criminality of anti Black brutality.
Because no matter how bad it gets, we won’t be going anywhere. We’ll be registering voters, fighting the existential peril of environmental catastrophe, and this week- all day Saturday, at katrina15.com- mobilizing for justice in memory of all Black lives lost in the climate catastrophe that devastated New Orleans.
Please, support us as we continue to fight for YOU, and for all of us.
Rev. Yearwood
