Help New Orleans Thanksgiving

by Mark Barnes
Help the 9th Ward in NO
JOIN THE ROADTRIP FOR RELIEF!!
CLEAN-UP, REPAIR, REBUILD IN THE
9TH WARD WITH COMMON GROUND COLLECTIVE
November 20-27

Common Ground Collective has called a National Caravan to arrive in New Orleans on November 20th and work over the week of Thanksgiving until November 27th. In the meantime, we are having regular planning meetings to build up to this event, and we need people to join our organizing efforts.

Please contact Susan King at funking [at] mindspring.com to find out how you can be a part of this vital effort.

Why: The concentrated efforts of this caravan will bring hope to the displaced people of New Orleans so they see that it is possible to clean-up their neighborhoods and rebuild their lives. The work of the caravan will be a demonstration of what is possible.

Who: You. Your organization. Self-sustained groups that can organize themselves. We also need volunteers with specific skills: electricians,mechanics, plumbers, mold abaters, roofers, construction workers, carpenters, tree workers, lawyers, cooks and people who can train other volunteers and residents in these skills.

When: We need organizers to help right now! We're asking folks in
the caravan to arrive in New Orleans on November 20th and work through the Thanksgiving week until November 27th. Of course, volunteers are needed continuously and can arrive anytime.

How you can help: Get on the bus. Donate a bus. Organize a bus.
Donate $$$$. Donate supplies . Help raise funds, plan a fundraiser, ask your network to donate. Help spread the word.
