Algiers Needs Supplies, Send to Cafe Mawonaj (NOT American Red Cross!) Lyndi Borne 2005-09-15 12:15 PM
1. American Red Cross & FEMA are doing very little to help the people of New Orleans. Mayday DC & Cafe Mawonaj & Food not Bombs run the ONLY makeshift clinic in Algiers (across the river from East New Orleans). 2. The clinic needs: a) Diabetic testing kits b) Anti-mold cleaning supplies c) Vitamin B-complex vitamins d) Brita filters and chlorine pills e) Money for Generators Please make checks out to Cafe Mawonaj and drop off supplies to 624 T St NW, Washington, DC 20001. Go to www.mawonaj.com for more information. 3. $80 billion was approved in FY2005 for war in Iraq (not including supplementary funds). $37 million was allocated for FEMA annually since 2001 when the budget was cut 50%. They could have prevented this disaster by reinforcing the levees! 4. Algiers is like a ghost town, it is under martial law and curfew is from 6 am - 6 pm. Not all the army are unhelpful, but the Red Cross sits there, the National Guard & Army don't even know where to buy generators, and the people left over are helping themselves and their neighbors. This includes the displaced from East New Orleans. (text/plain)

Crossroads of Conscience,The Peace and Justice Movement and Hurricane Katrina Naomi Archer 2005-09-15 12:27 AM
Standing on a road littered by broken glass and splintered shingles in the Algiers community of New Orleans, it's impossible not to wonder, "Where is everybody?" But the search isn't to find the residents of the Algiers. Members of the neighborhood wander in and out the new but understaffed wellness clinic on Techie Street. Instead, the eyes scan the horizon, searching for a whirlwind of progressive relief equal to the storm winds and political hot air that have created this disaster. (text/plain + 1 comment)
