originally posted on Feministing (http://feministing.com/movabletype/mt-tb.cgi/6506.1259512341) As many had suspected all throughout, disguised in the language of "re-development" most of the redevelopment initiatives in post-Katrina New Orleans have been driven by greed and profit motives as opposed to moral and ethical commitments to the people that have been displaced from their homes, that should be given their right to return. New Orleans has shown us the lack of commitment our government has to protecting basic human and civil rights. It has also shown us the devastating and dishonest nature of disaster profiteering in communities of color and that clearly HUD is more interested in what developers want as opposed to what communities they are supposed to be providing housing for need. Don't let the displaced and homeless people of New Orleans down in this holiday season. TAKE ACTION NOW! Sign the petition to stop the demolition and to support SB 1668.
