When #HurricaneKatrina hit #NewOrleans, Black neighborhoods faced the worst of the flooding ⬇️
Yet, reporting often framed residents as “looters” instead of survivors struggling to stay alive.
This false narrative fueled fear and violence.

🌪️ 20 years after Katrina, we see the pattern: disaster capitalism + imperial domination = communities sacrificed for profit. 💰🔥 From NOLA to Palestine 🇵🇸 to D.C., the fight for liberation is global. ✊🏾 #Katrina20 #ClimateJustice #BlackLiberation #GlobalSolidarity

#HurricaneKatrina plagued #NewOrleans' 2006 municipal elections:
💥 Over half of all polling places were destroyed.
💥 The election was delayed nearly three months.
💥 Voter turnout was severely depressed due to displacement.
We're still feeling the impact on minority representation today. #Katrina20

Within hours of #HurricaneKatrina’s landfall in 2005, floodwaters inside the #NewOrleans jail had risen from knee-high to chest-high.
The people trapped in the cells – 90% of them Black – began to fear that they’d been abandoned and left to drown.

#HurricaneKatrina's impact on #NewOrleans revealed that natural disasters don’t impact everyone equally.
🏚️ Predominantly Black neighborhoods were hit the hardest.
📈 Housing costs, displacement and homelessness soared.
❤️🩹 Recovery programs left too many behind.

Achieving justice and liberation in the next 20 years depends on what we do now. Honored to have fought alongside my brother Sess 4-5 for New Orleanians and look forward to remaining in this fight until we win. All power to the people. ✊🏽 #katrina20

The thing about #Katrina20 is that it not only affected me but that it impacted 99% one I knew. My whole world essentially. In the aftermath I had no idea who still even had a home. It was collective and pervasive. Since 2005 life was split into pre-Katrina and post-Katrina for us. #nolasky

Katrina taught us to respect water. The ocean remembered; it’s preheating. Rapid intensification is the candle on the cake. #Katrina20
