The Socialist Party National Office and the SP-NYC invite you to join us at a forum:
After Katrina: Solidarity Not Charity, Reclaiming the Gulf
Wednesday January 25, 2006
6:30 - 9 PM
A national dialogue on racism, poverty inequality and injustice began after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. While FEMA and the Red Cross failed at providing immediate support for Gulf "refugees", community-led projects like the Common Ground Collective have continued the work of rebuilding the Gulf offering mutual aid and support from volunteer medical and health providers, aid workers, community organizers, legal representatives and people from all over with broad skills from all walks of life.
Speakers:
Sean White: volunteer with the Common Ground Collective. Sean has been at the Common Ground Collective since September and will have a slide presentation on the Common Ground Project. Sean is an anti-authoritarian/ anti-capitalist activist and organizer and a member of the Socialist Party.
Konrad Aderer: documentarian and producer of Life or Liberty, Farouk Abdel-Muhti: Political Prisoner and other human rights films. Konrad has a short video of Katrina and will speak about his experience during the hurricane.
Others SPeakers TBA
