[News] A Katrina Reader

[Anti-Imperialist News]

Hello,

We are writing to you at the suggestion of our friends at Freedom Archives.

We would like to introduce you to 'A Katrina Reader': 
<http://www.cwsworkshop.org/katrinareader>www.cwsworkshop.org/katrinareader.

A Katrina Reader is an online resource of articles, poems, and 
stories, by and for anti-racist educators and organizers.  It has 
four main goals:

      1. To highlight the inspiring tradition of resistance to racism 
by New Orleans grassroots organizations, before and after Katrina;

      2. To provide basic information about many New Orleans racial 
justice organizations working for the right of return of all New Orleanians;

      3. To facilitate the efforts of students and educators who want 
to learn more about grassroots racial justice organizing in New 
Orleans, with the purpose of strengthening their volunteer solidarity 
activities, in New Orleans and on their university campuses;

      4. To suggest some perspectives and tools for anti-racist 
solidarity organizers (especially for white activists) wanting to 
work in solidarity with grassroots racial justice organizations, both 
in New Orleans and in their home communities.

A Katrina Reader is compiled by anti-racist solidarity organizers who 
do not live in New Orleans.  We are inspired by, and strive to hold 
ourselves accountable to, the New Orleans-based movement for the 
right of return of all internally displaced persons.  We welcome your 
feedback about this reader!
Please e-mail us at '<mailto:cws at igc.org>cws at igc.org.'

If you find this resource useful, we hope you might help spread the 
word by putting up a link on your organization's website, and 
mentioning it on your list serves.

In Solidarity,

A Katrina Reader Team:

Rebecca Gordon, Jaimie Harrow, Sharon Martinas, Rob McBride, Tev 
Monnin and Ryan Wadsworth

"A Katrina Reader is dedicated to all the Katrina survivors and 
grassroots racial justice organizations of New Orleans, who are 
fighting for the right of return of all 'Internally Displaced 
Persons,' and the right to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast 
with justice, dignity and self-determination."
