SUMMARY:"They Left Us Here to Die"\: Hurricane Katrina and Ethnic Cleansing in New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will expose the systematic program of ethnic
  cleansing taking place in New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
  The Black majority of the regions\, particularly in New Orleans\, are
  being denied the unqualified human right to return to their homes by 
 the US government on all levels. Rather than adhering to the human rig
 hts standards and international treaties that govern the process of re
 lief\, resettlement\, and reconstruction for Internally Displaced Pers
 ons (IDP’s)\, or its own laws and policies\, such as the “Stafford
  Act” or the “USAID Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons Pol
 icy”\, the US government has fundamentally chosen a neo-liberal\, fr
 ee-market solution to guide its policy of recovery\, resettlement and 
 reconstruction in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. It will also focus o
 n the International Tribunal on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita being orga
 nized New Orleans\, Louisiana August 28th – September 2nd\, 2007.
