Mission

The Women of the Storm’s original mission was to educate leaders and to bring attention to the scale and breadth of devastation caused in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, by inviting all members of Congress and others who set the national agenda to visit New Orleans and its vanishing coast. Congress was to see first-hand the unprecedented damage, the challenges of rebuilding, the signs of progress, and how Louisiana’s recovery has a direct impact on every state in the nation.

Since the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010, the group has also advocated for a continuous revenue stream for coastal restoration in Louisiana and along the entire Gulf Coast
