FEMA "Evicted" from Oakland on February 7th
Protest as FEMA Plans to Cut Off Housing Funding for Katrina Survivors
On Tuesday, Februrary 7th, Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and Bay to Gulf Solidarity gathered at the FEMA office in downtown Oakland at 1111 Broadway (at 11th St.). They “evicted" FEMA for its failure to provide long term housing for Katrina survivors, and for obstructing residents' right to return to their homes in the Gulf.
