The Coaltion to Stop Demolitions is holding a press conference on Friday, Nov. 30 at 9:30am to make the following requests of the New Orleans city council:
Given over 200,000 persons still displaced from New Orleans after 2 1/2 years, and given 12,000+ homeless persons in the city, and given current redevelopment plans that will exclude 3861 families from public housing, will you amend the City Council Resolution No.. $-07-528 (passed on November 1, 2007) to explicitly
- oppose the demolition of the BW Cooper, C.J. Peete, Lafitte, and St. Bernard public housing developments, and
- recognize the right of return for all residents living in New Orleans prior to Katrina
If your organization would like to sign on to the petition, please e-mail Pam Nath at nathpam@gmail.com.
