DESCRIPTION:Forum & Discussion\nFriday, September 5, 7pm\n\nEYEWITNESS LOUISIANA: 
 POST-KATRINA, IN THE FACE OF  GUSTAV\n\nThree years after Hurricane 
 Katrina, the people of Louisiana narrowly escaped another natural disaster. 
 But the man-made disaster continues beyond the storms: the failure to 
 sufficienty strengthen the levees; tens of thousands of displaced residents 
 who have not been able to return due to lack of housing; the massive 
 gentrification scheme creating immense corporate profits at the expense of 
 the African American working class -- the state now has 46,000 fewer Black 
 voters. Hurricane Katrina revealed the collosal failure of the capitalist 
 state to provide for the people. After the horrific racist repression 
 during the last storm, this week the state sent 50,000 National Guard 
 soldiers to enforce their evacuation plan and hunt down "looters." Hear 
 from PSL Presidential candidate Gloria La Riva and Richard Becker, who 
 traveled across Louisiana witnessing conditions before and after the storm 
 hit.\n\nEYEWITNESS DNC & RNC\n\nThe two parties of big business have 
 created massive media spectacles around their national conventions, making 
 it almost impossible to ignore their corporate-sponsored pep rallies. 
 Meanwhile, protests outside the conventions have been repressed by the cops 
 and ignored by the media. Hear from PSL activists who took part in the 
 protests outside the Democratic and Republican conventions and find out the 
 stories that the mainstream media left out.\n\nSPONSORED BY PARTY FOR
