"The Red Cross Has Basically Stolen Money From Victims in New Orleans" - People's Hurricane Relief Fund Blasts Katrina Aid Pr

by via Democracy Now
Thursday, August 30, 2007 : A five-day International Tribunal on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita opened last night in New Orleans. The tribunal is bringing together hurricane survivors, international delegations, expert witnesses, a team of human rights and civil rights prosecutors, and a panel of US-based and international judges.
One survivor of the hurricane, Viola Washington said, "We are calling for an International Tribunal to bring charges of racial discrimination, forced eviction of pubic housing residents, violations of the right to life and health, and the denial of the right to return."

We speak with two activists from the People's Hurricane Relief Fund - one of the main sponsors of the tribunal:

* Kali Akuno, executive director of the People's Hurricane Relief Fund.
* Malcolm Suber, national organizing coordinator for Peoples Hurricane Relief Fund.
