ALERT: Bring Katrina Survivors Home

From Amnesty International

August 29th marked the two year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, yet thousands of people remain in limbo, wondering if they will be able to return home.

These survivors have endured ongoing hardship for too long. With most public housing in New Orleans still shuttered and a dearth in affordable housing throughout the Gulf Coast, survivors are at continued risk of ongoing displacement far from home. It's time to give displaced Katrina survivors a timely and dignified return.

The House of Representatives has done its part to uphold the right to return. Now it's up to the Senate to do the same. Tell your Senator that the time has come to bring Katrina survivors home.

Join Taylor Hicks in Red Cross Disaster Relief

Now, this is darned nice: Singer-songwriter Taylor Hicks is using part of his national tour to bring attention to those devastated by the recent tornadoes in Alabama and Georgia. Hicks' Southeast-area concerts this weekend will raise funds for the American Red Cross and its disaster-relief efforts in those states. Way to go, Tay!

Grateful Dread Radio wants to do its part too: From time to time on this Red Cross Weekend at GDR, we'll air Red Cross announcements and we urge you to donate to the organization as well so that victims of the tragedy can receive the help they need.
