I think about climate change daily. I survive climate catastrophe daily. Things are getting really bad, really fast. Things have been terrible for years and no one gave a single shit when I would talk about the realities of #Louisiana coastal life then. #IndigenousGulf
Big ol shoutout to Imagine Water Works though, https://www.imaginewaterworks.org/, a powerhouse of mutual aid disaster response that I've looked up to for years and am now on the board of. Work like this and @bvlbanchacollective et al keep me sane.
From the website: "Our core focus areas are climate justice, land stewardship, and disaster readiness and response. With the issues we’re facing today, we know that our communities need immediate support and the ability to work toward a better future, at the same time. We support these efforts by providing resources that keep people more safe before, during, and after both natural and manmade disasters. We create opportunities to connect with others and merge art with science in a deeply authentic and personal way. And we create freedom spaces where everyone has the opportunity to explore, imagine, and share their solutions for our future."

"Donald Trump is coming to New Orleans. He's gonna be holding a fundraiser at Joseph Cannizaro's Old Metairie mansion-- so let's make it clear that he and his donors aren't welcome here! Real Name Campaign will gather at the corner of Iona and Avenue E at 6pm to rally.
Trump's not only the leading Republican candidate, he endorsed the bigoted Jeff Landry for governor. We can't tolerate this hate in our state."
On the flyer:
Rally: kick Trump out of NOLA.
No to Trump!
No to Landry!
Trump is coming to New Orleans to fundraise
In May, he endorsed far right Jeff Landry for governor
Let's give Trump and his funders a New Orleans welcome
6pm on July 25 in Metairie
Corner of Iona & Ave E

Via Real Name Campaign: Trump and his donors are scared of us! They're shutting down the whole neighborhood to try and avoid a fuss. To make parking and access easier, we're gathering for our rally today at Oakridge Shopping Center, 800 Metairie Road. The event still starts at 6pm. #Louisiana#NOLA
