 Capoeira Angola Foundation - Oakland  is organizing a revel with a cause to 
 raise funds for the Families and  Friends of Lousiana's Incarcerated 
 Children who are providing living  support to the hundreds of formerly 
 incarcerated youth who have been  evacuated from the  Gulf Coast  detention 
 centers.  The International Capoeira Angola Foundation - Oakland  ( 
 http://www.ficaoakland.org ) is dedicated to the preservation and practice  
 of Capoeira Angola, an Afro-Brazilian artform as a means to building  
 community.    FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF LOUISIANNA'S INCARCERATED CHILDREN 
 (FFLIC) is a  statewide membership-based organization dedicated to creating 
 a better  life  for all of Louisiana's youth, especially those who are 
 involved or at risk  of becoming involved in the juvenile justice system. 
 Using education,  direct action organizing and peer advocacy to build 
 strong, powerful  families and communities, and to fight for justice for 
 our children and  ourselves.  Since Katrina and Rita, they have been 
 working to locate and  support all their members displaced by the storm and 
 to reunite families  with loved ones who were incarcerated when Katrina 
 hit. They are also  working with other groups to demand accountability for 
 the oppresive  response to this disaster and to ensure a reconstruction of 
 their  communities that lives up to the needs and dreams of its people.  ( 
 http://www.fflic.org )  COMMON GROUND COLLECTIVE:  Common Ground Collective 
 is a local, community-run organization offering  assistance, mutual aid and 
 support to New Orleans communities that have  been historically neglected 
 and underserved.  Common Ground's teams of volunteers include: medical and

 and people from  all over with broad skills from all walks of life.  
 Michael Kozart, M.D. will reportback from a recent trip to the collective  
 and share his experiences about whats happening now.  (
