August 29 -- Commemorating Katrina in RI

I received two flyers from Shannah Kurland and have tried unsuccessfully to copy them. Here is the infor. in English and Spanish.


Friday, August 29 is the THIRD Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina -
and here in Providence, we're getting a preview of the same
DISPLACEMENT
UNEMPLOYEMENT
GENTRIFICATION
CRIMINALIZATION OF YOUTH AND IMMIGRANTS

that were the root of the unnatural disaster called Katrina!

Join DARE, ONA and City Life/Vida Urbana (from Boston),
Safe Streets (from New Orleans)
and the Right to the City Alliance on a
COMMEMORATION MARCH

Friday, August 29
3:30:: gather at DARE
(corner of Broad and Lockwood, behind Burger King)
March through downtown, end at 6:30
