Rising Tide NA, with a lot of support from other groups, have just set up a new website with information from the grassroots, for the grassroots radical and progressive response to Hurricane Gustav and those that have followed. They are currently receiving and collating information from a dozen or so groups in the area.
To visit the website click here.
The site features:
° Information on how to support community organised relief efforts and grassroots organisations doing social justice work in hurricane affected areas.
° Needed lists from affected communities and organisation that need support.
° Sample flyers, announcements, etc. for organizing fundraisers, movie showings, and solidarity vigils in your community.
Keep in mind:
1) Even if there is no flooding in New Orleans and surrounding parishs, there is going to be major disruptions to social justice organising in the area.
2) We have yet to receive updates from the poor, highly vulnerable, not to mention highly oil-industry impacted communities along the coast.
