Boiling for Justice: Join Us for LaFHAC’s Annual Crawfish Boil & Stand for Fair Housing
Upcoming Events – 1

We’re so excited to announce that LaFHAC’s Annual Crawfish Boil is back!  Every year, LaFHAC hosts a series of community events during the month of April to commemorate the passage of the Fair Housing Act on April 11th, 1968, with one of these events being our highly anticipated Community Crawfish Boil. This cherished tradition offers an opportunity for us to come together, celebrate our shared service commitment, and strengthen the bonds within our community. 

This year’s gathering, however, holds particular significance. In mere weeks since taking office, the Trump administration has unequivocally denounced the fundamental principles our communities fought for decades to establish. The termination of federal grants to fair housing organizations like ours threatens the enforcement of vital anti-discrimination protections afforded by the Fair Housing Act—a cornerstone victory of the Civil Rights Movement. The dismantling of equity-focused programs across various sectors risks a devastating reversal of national progress. These developments directly impact our mission to ensure fair housing for all in Louisiana, especially the most vulnerable populations who depend on our work to help keep a roof above their heads.

We look forward to you joining us for an evening of camaraderie, celebration, and renewed commitment to our shared goals. Together, we can continue to advocate and protect the rights of those we serve. The boil will be held on Tuesday, April 15th from 5:00 – 7:30 pm at The Broadside 600 N. Broad Street in New Orleans. The event is free and open to the public.  We hope you’ll mark your calendar and plan to join us! Please register via this link or RSVP to the Facebook event here so we know how many people to expect.

We hope to see you there!
