Creativity, Solidarity and Mutual Aid in Algiers, New Orleans
On September 12, Vinny, Blank and I arrived in New Orleans. We are staying in the Algiers neighborhood. Community members and volunteers from coast to coast and Europe, are providing people in New Orleans with food, medical aid and health supplies.
As we drove into New Orleans, we saw many buildings and trees that have been destroyed as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Driving in New Orleans is pretty strange these days. Many of the street signs are laying on the side of the road. However, the photos I am publishing here are trying to tell a different story. They are not focused on the destruction caused by Katrina, racism and classism, rather they provide a small glance at the creativity, solidarity and mutual aid happening here in Algiers.

If you can make it out to Texas, Mississippi or Louisiana, your help is definitely needed.
Also, if you can donate money to support independent media for survivors of Hurricane Katrina, that would be very helpful as well.
Vinny and I have put out a request for donations. Please read the following article for information on one important way that you can help out. thanks.

I live in Marin, work at San Francisco General (with Michael Kozart) and went to San Antonio TX to do relief efforts there, at Kelly Air Force Base. I would MUCH rather have been with you guys as you did (and are doing) phenomenal things. I'm SO impressed.
Didn't know about Common Ground at the time, much to my loss. Proud to be from the Bay Area, like a lot of you guys!
