Gordon Plaza Struggle For Justice Continues

On November 11, 2020, Veterans Day, Residents of Gordon Plaza and the New Orleans Peoples Assembly held a rally and march. Beginning at the Veterans Administration Hospital and ending at the vacant Charity Hospital, nearly a dozen speakers wove connections between the struggles of military veterans duped into fighting unjust, imperialist wars and the struggles of working class Black people who the City of New Orleans knowingly scammed into buying houses on toxic land. Organizers demanded long-overdue justice, including a fully funded re-location for Gordon Plaza residents.
