GUEST: Freddie Munroe, New Orleans Evacuee

In a recent visit to the hurricane devastated region of New Orleans, President Bush promised to rebuild and strengthen the breached levees that led to the flooding of the city last year. On Wednesday, Bush claimed that the levees would be “equal or better to what they were before Katrina.” Meanwhile, a recent poll of New Orleans residents placed the approval of the President’s response to Hurricane Katrina at 23%. These dismal ratings follow the March 1st Associated Press report that cited video footage Bush being warned before Katrina hit, that the levees in New Orleans could be breeched.

Freddie Munroe will join other Katrina survivors and supporters on Saturday March 11th at 11 am in Leimert Park (Crenshaw and Vernon). There will be a second-line march with survivors and supporters speaking out, and a “taste of New Orleans” with food, music, and celebration. For more information, visit www.globalwomenstrike.net.
