HELP US STRENGTHEN OUR “NET” THAT “WORKS!
Organizers and staff of The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond, together with thousands of our brothers and sisters from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, have suffered enormous losses because of hurricane Katrina and the flooding that followed. The People’s Institute headquarters and many staff homes were in New Orleans East, a neighborhood with high floodwaters. We grieve for those hundreds of thousands of people who have lost their homes and businesses. We are enraged by the racist indifference and neglect that resulted in thousands of people needlessly suffering and dying.
Hurricane Katrina has also dramatized The People’s Institute’s networking principle: In the midst of our losses, the “net” of anti-racist organizers across the country and worldwide continues to work effectively.
