Water Justice New Orleans is a community-driven coalition working to address the city's ongoing drainage crisis through equitable, transparent, and sustainable water policy. Bringing together residents, nonprofits, water experts, and local businesses, the initiative advocates for a drainage system that better serves all communities, particularly those most vulnerable to flooding and climate change.

The project explores how stormwater fees and public investment can fund critical infrastructure improvements while expanding green infrastructure, reducing neighborhood flooding, and promoting environmental equity. At its core, the initiative seeks to make water management more accountable and accessible by giving residents a meaningful role in shaping the policies that affect their neighborhoods.

The goal is to build a healthier, more resilient New Orleans where reliable water infrastructure is treated as a public good and every community has a voice in its future.
