Title
New Orleans' Workers Center for Racial Justice - HOME
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- In December of 2005, after the floodwaters of Katrina devastated the New Orleans community, the New Orleans Worker Justice Coalition came together as a gathering of local and national organizers, experts and groups to address the problems that they were seeing among new workers arriving to help rebuild, as well as survivors who were suddenly facing huge barriers to employment. The coalition mobilized 200 law school students to gather the stories of over 1000 workers, and authored a report entitled "And Injustice for All: Workers’ Lives in the Reconstruction of New Orleans." Released with the Advancement Project and NILC, it remains the most comprehensive report on race and labor after Katrina.
