WHAT YOU CAN DO:
-Distribute black armbands with the words “Remember Katrina – Drive Out the Bush Regime – Oct. 5: Day of Mass Resistance”.
-Organize a New Orleans style jazz funeral march in your area on August 29th.
8/21-22 HBO aired Spike Lee’s new film, When the Levees Broke,
which documents the horror faced by
New Orleans residents when the government left them to die after
Hurricane Katrina hit. In New Orleans, the film was shown for free to
an audience of 10,000. Check back here for reviews and responses, and send us yours.
