National FEMA Trailer Tour

This afternoon, our friend James Perry of the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center arrived at the RNC in St. Paul, MN to urge Republican leaders to commit to Gulf Coast rebuilding as a result of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and now Gustav. Several others, including David Gauthe of Thibodeaux, LA and Derrick Evans of Turkey Creek Community Initiatives had planned to accompany the KatrinaRitaVille Express to the RNC, but Gustav put those plans on hold. Quite naturally, everyone in our circle of community advocates is extremely grateful that James has pressed on to St. Paul to represent the Gulf Coast during this unexpected window of renewed media interest and public concern.
