Since it's inception 25 years ago, The Louisiana Bucket Brigade has supported neighborhoods adjacent to the petrochemical industry in Louisiana. In the current political landscape, these communities are more vulnerable than ever. This moment requires new strategies and new energy, including engaging the young people of Louisiana. The funds raised on GiveNOLA Day this year will support our new youth summer program in the river parishes. In partnership with Rural Roots Louisiana, this program will create hands-on, experiential learning opportunities grounded in the lived experiences of communities living along Cancer Alley. We will invest in young people by helping them build an expanded understanding of issues, advocacy, and electoral politics

The Louisiana Bucket Brigade uses grassroots action to create an informed, healthy society that hastens the transition from fossil fuels. Our vision is to create a Louisiana that is a healthy, prosperous, pollution free, and just state where people and the environment are valued over profit. The Louisiana Bucket Brigade believes our state is worth saving. We also know Louisiana is a driver for climate change globally. For 25 years, we've helped residents and community leaders amplify their voices and protect their health, their homes, and their way of life.
