Rising Tide folks with a lot of support from others have set up a new 
information site with information from the grassroots, for the 
grassroots radical and progressive response to Hurricane Gustav. We are 
currently receiving or collecting information from a dozen or so groups 
in the area.


Please spread the word and forward this message.


The site features:

? Information on how to support community organized relief efforts and 
grassroots organizations doing social justice work in hurricane affected 
areas. 

? Needs lists from affected communities and organization that need support. 

? (soon) Sample flyers, announcements, etc. for organizing fundraisers, 
movie showings, and solidarity vigils in your community. 


Keep in mind:

1) Even if there is no flooding in New Orleans and surrounding parish's 
there is going to be major disruptions to social justice organizing in 
the area.

2) We have yet to receive updates from the poor, highly vulnerable, not 
to mention highly oil-industry impacted communities along the coast (Tom 
G. has been putting out some excellent background on the circumstances 
of the Houma Nation, thanks Tom!)
