Our Mission

May Day New Orleans is a people-driven and -inspired social justice movement.  We believe that active and direct participation from community members is essential to ensuring that basic needs, such as adequate housing, healthcare, education and safe streets, are met.  We hold government, the private sector, and those who work on behalf of communities accountable to those who are directly impacted by their policies and practices.  Through public education, training, community empowerment and activism, we hope to build stronger communities and a more just society.
