New Orleans needs your phone calls NOW
NOLA residents barred from city council meeting, tasered and pepper sprayed
Hey folks,
anyone who can get on a phone this morning please call in IMMEDIATELY to
memers of the New Orleans City Council. This morning was supposed to be a
hearing on the demolitions of public housing, and after a week of
grassroots mobilizing last week to defend the developments, people are
being attacked right now at City Hall.
Residents and allies were peppersprayed, forced out of City Hall, many
arrested, and then tasered outside. Many people are in need of medical
attention.
The meeting is proceeding inside and we're being asked to blast city
council with phone calls.

"i'm calling to register a complaint regarding the pepper-spraying of people at the city council meeting yesterday"
"that's happening right now"
"i'm talking about yesterday"
"that was the police department"
"ok, but it happened in the city council office"
"that was crowd control"
"what about their rights? what about housing people who have lost everything?"
"thank you for your time"
*click
(a summation, but that pretty much sums it up)
fucking typical
