New Orleans recovery??

I was at an event tonight in which a speaker talked about recent experiences in New Orleans - and reported that conditions are still very bad, especially if you are poor and African American. He suggested we check out an organization called Common Ground. This is what they are about: Common Ground's mission is to provide short term relief for victims of hurricane disasters in the gulf coast region, and long term support in rebuilding the communities affected in the New Orleans area. Common Ground is a community-initiated volunteer organization offering assistance, mutual aid and support. The work gives hope to communities by working with them, providing for their immediate needs and emphasizes people working together to rebuild their lives in sustainable ways."
