Hi Everyone,
It looks like we will be hooking up Common Ground relief when we're in
New Orleans, since they need as many people as possible. Duties range
from house gutting to outreach to legal defense to medical care (and
more). The daily routine will be as follows:
1) Breakfast
2) Morning meeting: Don't slack on attending meetings.
3) Disperse for work
4) Return from work
5) Dinner
6) Nightly events: teach-ins, meetings, social events
We will definitely fly there, since we are limited on time. Looks like
it will cost about $250 round trip. Holly has found a hostel we can
stay at for ~$17/night or otherwise we will have to camp outside.
Right now, from what I've been told, there are tons of volunteers, but
not enough cars, so it would be beneficial to them as well as us if we
split the cost of car rentals.
I will forward all the info I've received to everyone interested in
going, so please contact me ASAP. I would like to book the flight by
this weekend.
Talk to you all soon.
