On June 13th the Bush Administration issued a declaration of war on
public housing in New Orleans. The HUD proposal to “redevelop”
public housing would accomplish what Hurricane Katrina could not
do...destroy the lion's share, about 70%, of the city's existing public
housing stock. This is a Crime Against Humanity! Lets Mobilize to Stop It!!

Sadly, not all residents will be able to return home in the near future.”

On June 13th the Bush Administration issued a declaration of war on
public housing in New Orleans. The HUD proposal to “redevelop”
public housing would accomplish what Hurricane Katrina could not
do...destroy the lion's share, about 70%, of the city's existing public
housing stock. Such a development would, in effect, permanently exile
tens of thousands of Katrina survivors now stranded far from home.
