Car Caravan Demands No Katrina/Rita Evictions Part of Nationwide Protests Tue., Feb. 28 WE'LL HAVE SOUND CARS DEMANDING: FEMA Meet its Responsibility to House Evacuees - No illegal land grab against Evacuees - Katrina Evacuees Have a Right to Return Home Starting Point: Leimert Park 43rd & Crenshaw, Los Angeles Ending Point: Hollywood & Highland, Los Angeles Route: Crenshaw Blvd to Rossmore (turns into Vine) to Hollywood Blvd When: Tuesday, February 28 at 4:30 PM Sponsors: Katrina Solidarity Committee, International Action Center Contact: John Parker, (323) 936-7266 'The criminal treatment of the Katrina survivors on the part of various arms of the U.S. government should be viewed as a human rights violation under international law.' Los Angeles Katrina Solidarity Committee As the March 1 deadline approaches for the eviction of thousands of Katrina evacuees from their temporary housing in different parts of the country, activists from Los Angeles to New Orleans to New York are organizing emergency protests against FEMA and other local governmental agencies on Feb. 28 the last official day for Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Katrina Solidarity Committees nationwide will be pointing out that FEMA and the Bush administration are mandated by the Stafford Act to provide housing for disaster victims for 18 months - their attempt to cut off housing and rental assistance is illegal and criminal. Protests will demand Katrina/Rita evacuees be granted an indefinite extension in federal, state and local housing assistance until such time as they obtain affordable and adequate housing. In early February, over 4,000 Katrina survivors, mainly in New Orleans, were evicted. Many were arrested for either trying to find shelter in abandoned buildings or for being outright homeless. As many as 20,000 more evacuees are facing eviction on March 1. Join us Tuesday and let Katrina/Rita survivors know they are not alone! - #30 -- www.iacenterla.org TO VOLUNTEER OR DONATE CALL 323-936-7266. Los Angeles Office: 5274 W.
