ACTION ALERT: 5 MINUTES FOR JUST RECOVERY
Look below the surface.
On the 2nd anniversary of Hurricane Katrina many are documenting the continued struggle of residents in the Gulf to return and the corporate and government mismanagement that has stood in the way.
But as we reflect, there is also much to be done.
The Katrina Information Network (KIN) is a family of groups in the Gulf and across the country using e-advocacy, grassroots pressure, local actions and resolutions to turn the tide toward fast, equitable rebuilding.
Our network is hundreds of thousands strong, but we need more people to stand with us to building public pressure for a just recovery.
This anniversary, will you join us by asking your supporters to take stand for New Orleans and the Gulf Coast?

Local resolution campaign.
Turn up the heat on policymakers and those profiting unfairly from Katrina. A resolution passed this summer in Milwaukee will cost a wasteful company $30 million. Tell your elected official to block corporations from doing business in your city who mismanaged or wasted recovery funds. Find out how to Hit Them Where It Hurts!!!
We need to raise our voices, our votes and our wallets to make a change in one part of our nation that can be a model for others communities we come from and care about.
Here’s a video about musicians from New Orleans. Check out my friend, “Piano Prince of New Orleans” Davell Crawford. I also highly recommend his song Gather By the River from the Our New Orleans CD.
