<div align="left">August 29th 2007 marks the second year anniversary of
Hurricane Katrina. The world bore witness to the devastation in the
states of Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. The images of
destruction, pain and loss called for all of us to reach out and offer
support to our fellow Americans. Shock even struck people in developing
countries as they observed the collapse of the levees, people stranded
and the actions (inactions) of the U.S. government. For 4 days, the
poor, Black, Native Americans and Latin@'s were left to die. We've been
Katrina-ized - a criminal negligence on the part of the government -
characterized by the treatment of the poor and oppressed people of
color as less than human - as second class citizens! <br>
<br>
<i><b>Join with the survivors and demand:</b></i><br>
<ul>
<li>Justice and Reparations for Katrina/Rita Survivors</li>
<li>The Right of the Hurricane Victims to Return</li>
<li>Money for Levees - Not for Racist Border Walls nor Bombs!</li>
<li>Youth need Jobs and Education - Not Prisons, CORI and WAR! </li>
<li>Stop the Racist WAR Against Communities of Color</li>
<li>Stop the Violence - Stop the WAR at Home and Abroad</li>
<li>Defund the Pentagon - $$$ for Jobs, Housing, AIDS, Healthcare and
Education</li>
</ul>
<br>
The War On Iraq has cost the US more than $453,180,000,000*! <br>
<br>
<i><b>I</b><b>n the Gulf Coast**, we could have:</b></i><br>
<ul>
<li>Insured 186,680 Children for one year!</li>
<li>Built 2,807 Additional Housing Units!</li>
<li>5,402 Additional Public School Teachers!</li>
<li>Provided 15,113 students four-year scholarships at public
universities! </li>
</ul>
