What Can I Do?

Sunrise Foods International and the Port of New Orleans have attempted to keep this grain terminal project out of the public eye in order to minimize the chance of community resistance. This is an admission of the fact that the community has the power to organize, fight back, and stop this unwelcome intrusion into our neighborhood.

 

We all have a role to play in stopping the harm that Sunrise Foods International and the Port of New Orleans intend to do.

  • If you have other resources or information to share, we would love to hear from you.

If you are a journalist…

  • Please contact us for more information. This grain terminal project has moved forward in silence and secrecy for too long, and we are eager to share the facts about this project.

If you are a lawyer, elected official, or organization aligned with our goals…

  • Please don’t hesitate to contact us. Let’s see how we can work together.

If you are a sponsor of this project…

  • If you are a decision maker at Sunrise Foods International or Port NOLA who is directly involved with this project, we invite you to reconsider what you are doing. The neighborhood is not going to stop fighting you on this, because this grain terminal simply has no place here. There is ample wharf space and rail access throughout the Port of New Orleans that would not involve reactivating dormant facilities and rail lines in a residential area and introducing harmful impacts that our residents will suffer with for years to come.
