There are tens of thousands of people who used to live in New Orleans who want to come back.

Click here to see 1-minute You Tube video of the event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7vXXm3Fnh0<BR/><BR/>Incredibly, the Gulf Coast Civic Works Project march and rally was the lead or second story at 5 pm on EVERY news show in the Bay Area (i.e.,<BR/>CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox). Check out a news clip from ABC-TV at http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=local&id=5617486.<BR/><BR/>If you want to help bring survivor and students (and community membes) together, to struggle for this federal action, contact us at (510) 508-5382 or smlipton@sjsu.edu. We have over 40 colleges pushing for the GCCWP, and we have been orking closely with LA ACORN and All Congregations Together (ACT) in New Orleans.<BR/><BR/>Please contact us if you are interested.<BR/><BR/>best, scott ml<BR/><BR/>-----------------------------------------<BR/>Scott Myers-Lipton, Ph.D.<BR/>Associate Professor,<BR/>Sociology Department<BR/>Community Change Concentration<BR/>San Jose State University<BR/><BR/>smlipton@sjsu.edu<BR/>www.SolvingPoverty.com<BR/>(510) 508-5382Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04594328876181094128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12708098.post-43582112474614351382007-08-31T23:04:00.000-04:002007-08-31T23:04:00.000-04:00I'm confused~ are you willing to invest money in a...I'm confused~ are you willing to invest money in a city's rebuilding, when said city is below sealevel, and is so crime-ridden? <BR/>Would you move, live there?<BR/><BR/>Thought not.The Local Malcontenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074133807214264233noreply@blogger.com
