The Katrina 20 (K20) Local Planning Committee is a regional, grassroots coalition of leaders, community organizations, cultural institutions, and advocates from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, formed ahead of the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina to advance collective remembrance, healing, and power-building rooted in racial and climate justice, regenerative rebuilding, and sustainable infrastructure. Centering those most impacted by Katrina and ongoing climate, economic, and racial injustices, the Committee—anchored by Taproot Earth, Foundation for Louisiana, Ashé Cultural Arts Center, and Junebug Productions—is also establishing a community-controlled fund governed by residents to resource frontline leadership, organizing, healing, and cultural preservation across the Gulf South.

The Katrina 20 Week of Action (August 24–31, 2025) is a Gulf South–wide series of cultural, educational, and healing gatherings across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama marking two decades since Hurricane Katrina. Organized by the K20 Local Planning Committee, the week centers those most impacted and is guided by the principles of honoring, offering, change, healing, preparation, release, cleansing, and protection. With over 100 events along the Gulf South, we anticipate reaching over 50,000 people, K20 commemorates the past, uplifts our communities in the present, and builds momentum for a liberated, resilient future—because together, #We Are the Storm.
