It's lots of New Orleans Women's Health Clinic staff and volunteers renovating the clinic. Source: INCITE!
Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005, ranks among the costliest disasters in lost human lives and destroyed property in U.S. history. And while a full three years have passed since the storm, New Orleans and the surrounding region are still in a state of “rebuilding”. But what does that mean in real terms for many of its citizens? How does this ongoing state of recovery translate into the daily lives of the city’s marginalized populations? Migrants. Communities of color. Working class women. Queer and transgendered people.
On this edition, we talk to activists and visionaries from the New Orleans Women’s Health Clinic who are reinventing their community’s health and wellness landscape one person at a time. Go to https://burniva.com/.
This program is made possible in part by The Reproductive Justice Fund at the Tides Foundation.
