Healthy Gulf is honored to celebrate Juneteenth, the day when the news of freedom finally reached enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. For nearly 30 years, Healthy Gulf has been proudly working with communities across the Gulf Coast. Together, we tackle the legacy of historical injustices and address current environmental issues that impact the health and well-being of Gulf South residents. Our commitment to healthy wetlands and a vibrant coast is deeply connected to the fight for racial justice. We hope you take time today to reflect on the historical injustices of the past, contemplate the work we must do to continue fighting racially motivated injustice in all forms, and celebrate the hard-won victories. Happy #Juneteenth 💚

📣Attention NOLA Residents: This Saturday, Come see the results of a community-driven design process that began with the convening of a New Orleans East Water Leaders cohort last year. Project partners will be presenting design concepts for green infrastructure along the banks of Bayou Michoud. We will be mocking up the pilot project design at 8 a.m., and providing guided walkthroughs of the design (at full scale!) at 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Neighborhood residents, implementation partners, and anyone interested in this project is welcome to join. We'd love your feedback as we continue building on our learning and explorations from the past year, which have included visits to pump stations and wetlands, boating, community conversations, meetings with scientists, and community design workshops.

Healthy Gulf is seeking individuals who are passionate about environmental justice to join us in the fight for clean water, safe communities, and a healthy Gulf.
