Summer Recap

‼️‼️‼️Vessel Project of Louisiana SUMMER RECAP‼️‼️‼️

It has been a busy summer for Vessel Project of Louisiana. Here is a synopsis. I couldn’t even post all the photos. 

We kicked off the summer with Summer of Heat in New York City where we called out the banks and insurance companies that are financing fossil fuels projects on the Gulf Coast. 

We held a Hurricane Preparedness Event to assist our community with being prepared for what is predicted to be a very active hurricane season. 

We participated in a massive back to school event hosted by Aetna and SWLA Center for Health Services where we provided back to school essentials for over 400 community members. 

We participated in a Back to school Resource Fair sponsored by Southwest Louisiana Credit Union where community members received back to school and financial resources amongst other things. 

We participated in an Heirship event hosted by Project Build A Future where the community was educated on Heirship property and more. 

We also attended City Council, Police Jury, School Board, and other community meetings all summer long. 

We also gave away food, toiletries, paid bills, rebuilt homes, and so much more. 

We partnered with several organizations from local, statewide, across the US and abroad. Texas Campaign for the Environment For a Better Bayou The 337 Vote Project Healthy Gulf Justin J. Pearson The Descendants Project RISE ST. JAMES Oil Change International Young, Gifted & Green Hip Hop Caucus Frontlines To FERC and so many more. 

Thanks to our amazing partners Patagonia @Hive Fund The Solutions Project and many more.

There is so much more to come this Fall. Stay tuned.

Our organization strives to provide resources to the community by way of emergency assistance, disaster assistance, mutual aid, and environmental justice education.
