"We're back- to take it back!" was the call in the streets as Katrina survivors and their supporters marched on New Orleans city hall on December tenth.
"We won't bow down" she sang and the crowd sang and swayed with her in Congo Square, New Orleans on December tenth, International Human Rights Day. "We will show the nation/ our determination." Fifteen hundred people gathered on Saturday for the March for Human Rights and Right to Return for Katrina survivors. The March followed the Gulf Coast Survivors Assembly in Jackson, Mississippi, where Katrina victims drafted a "People's Declaration: Survivor's Assembly Demands." Marchers delivered the document, demanding basic needs such as temporary housing and access to health care and education so that residents can begin rebuilding as well as a voice in the political rebuilding process, to City Hall at the end of the march.
