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.
