<font size=3>Hello,<br><br>
We are writing to you at the suggestion of our friends at Freedom
Archives.<br><br>
We would like to introduce you to <i>'A Katrina Reader'</i>:
<a href="http://www.cwsworkshop.org/katrinareader">
www.cwsworkshop.org/katrinareader</a>.<br><br>
<i>A Katrina Reader</i> is an online resource of articles, poems, and
stories, by and for anti-racist educators and organizers. It has
four main goals:<br><br>
1. To highlight the inspiring tradition of
resistance to racism by New Orleans grassroots organizations, before and
after Katrina;<br><br>
2. To provide basic information about many New
Orleans racial justice organizations working for the right of return of
all New Orleanians;<br><br>
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;<br><br>
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.<br><br>
<i>A Katrina Reader </i>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!<br>
Please e-mail us at

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.<br><br>
In Solidarity,<br><br>
