O2 NOLA Common Ground: Dispatch #5
Laurel reporting from New Orleans, 23.12.2005 - 17:16
The situation here is extraordinarily complex, convoluted and confounding
Mardi Gras is a point of heavy contention- with many residents and community leaders expressing that it is a slap in the face for the city to throw a party when hundreds of thousands of New Orleans natives don't even have homes to return to. They feel it sends the wrong message to the rest of the country that New Orleans is OK and open for business- and more so, displays an insulting set of misplaced priorities on the part of the City
{editorial note: Mardi Gras 2006 is scheduled for February 28}
I encourage everyone to pay attention to this situation as it develops and realize this is not a regional issue to the South, or a one time disaster that will fade in relevance as time passes. This is an ongoing event of primary importance that will ripple through our future as a watershed moment in history. One way or another, what happens here will help shape the future of our world. How it does so is up to us

Brenda, 10.12.2005 - 15:50
Citizens for Peace and Justice is a local antiwar activist organization which formed in March 2003 as a result of a shared concern over the pending US invasion of Iraq and our desire to respond to this in a meaningful way. Peace House of Ashland helped bring our members together. Effective December 2005, (CP&J;) will no longer meet weekly and will start doing much organizational work through newly formed standing committees.

O2 NOLA Common Ground: Dispatch #2
Laurel reporting from New Orleans, 09.12.2005 - 21:55
The organizing phenomenon that is the Common Ground Collective is an incredible sight to see. Common Ground was born the week following the hurricane, by a group of courageous locals and their regional activist allies who initially armed themselves to defend black neighborhoods from roving white vigilantes who were shooting at young black men. Out of that warzone atmosphere has grown an organic crisis response team that has diversified and grown extremely quickly into a sophisticated organization with over a half dozen semi-permanent locations and 30-some programs ranging from health care clinics, distribution centers, a pirate radio station, legal advocacy teams, and now house gutting crews.
