AMY GOODMAN: We’re broadcasting from New Orleans from the Lower Ninth Ward, so hard hit after this hurricane of two years ago you would think that it only recently happened, except for the tall marsh grasses that are almost completely covering much of the area.
As many of the homes were destroyed, grassroots groups here like People’s Hurricane Fund, as well as Common Ground Relief, are trying to save the houses from the destruction of the bulldozers, the damaged houses that people want money for to simply repair.
