Common Ground Collective Continues to Bring Volunteers For Post-Katrina Relief

by Democracy Now (reposted)
We speak with New Orleans community activist and co-founder of the Common Ground Collective, Malik Rahim, about his continued relief efforts in the Gulf Coast, the racism in the federal government's response to the disaster and much more.
New Orleans Community Organizer Malik Rahim is a veteran of the Black Panther Party there. For decades he worked as an organizer of public housing tenants both in New Orleans and in San Francisco. He also ran for New Orleans City Council on the Green Party ticket.

Malik visited our studio last month to talk about some of the ongoing issues facing New Orleans residents. He spoke about the Common Ground Collective - the community organization that he co-founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
