On April 24, Lens co-founder and reporter Karen Gadbois will interview lawyer and community activist Keith Hardie at our monthly Breakfast with the Newsmakers event.
Hardie has been on the forefront on many hot-button issues, including the recent reopening of Newcomb Boulevard and the campaign against a tax initiative for the Audubon Commission. Among other things, they’ll discuss the role of social media in organizing for activism.
Find out what makes this lawyer tick. Your questions are welcome.
Breakfast with the Newsmakers is a monthly business-social event that aims to engage The Lens’ audience with one another and with the people making news in and around New Orleans. Newsmakers events are open to the public. They are free to Lens members, with a $10 suggested donation for non-members.
