Nearly four years ago, Bayou Rising 2014 kicked off the 2015 #GulfSouthRising initiative. Here again in Dulac with our Gulf South Rising extended family, hosted by the United Houma Nation and @Gcclpla. #BayouRising 2018

“I don’t need the government to tell me who I am” #BayouRising

“Who in the room can affirm that the Houma Nation is their own sovereign nation?” [All hands raise up] #BayouRising

“In Puerto Rico...our over the top issue—we don’t have government” #BayouRising

“You can’t voice your vote if you’ve been gerrymandered out” #BayouRising

“We don’t need it [oil & gas]. No one supports polluting our communities, our land...I think we need to act differently.” Monique Harden of Deep South Center for Environmental Justice presents ‘What is Energy Democracy & Why is it Needed in Louisiana?’ #BayouRising

Coastal communities have a culture of fish consumption. Plastic is disrupting our way of life. #EnvironmentalJustice BridgeTheGulf GulfSouthRising GreenLatinos
