Part 2 of 2 – From the Lower 9th Ward to Maui: Fighting Forward and Empowering Displaced Communities
In the aftermath of major storms and wildfires, the threat of disaster capitalism and climate gentrification looms large, exploiting the vulnerabilities of affected communities. From Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to recent fires in Maui, these injustices persist. In this second part of our two part series we cover methods to counteract them. By educating themselves and others, building strong networks, demanding accountability, advocating for fair rebuilding, pushing for protective legislation, discussing climate reparations, and empowering through knowledge, we can create a future where justice and resilience prevail over exploitation. It is time to rewrite the narrative and build a world that truly cares for all its people, regardless of challenges faced.
