i was recently called by folk with common ground collective and asked to
coming up with some alternative media for the 5,000 katrina refugees in
seattle and there efforts to return home to new orleans and re-build there
lives. the caravan will leave seattle febuary 13th. there is much work to
do.


first things first is to assist the seattle katrina refugees in building
there website
 http://seattle.commongroundcollective.org<http://seattle.commongroundcollective.org>

the website would announce the refugees plan to return to the homes in new
orleans and the support needed for this 2,6000 mile journey. the website
would also be a place for audio and video interviews. interviews for folk to
tell the story of there relocation, the experience in seattle and there
desire to go home.finally the website will be used as a vehicle to locate
seattle katrina refugees...this information has been withheld by
governmental and non-governmental organizations.


second, to do some audio / video interviews and post them on the internet.
examples being, independent media centers, radio4all.net, google video and
you tube, so individuals and internet radio, pirate radio and fm stations.
can use these audio clips.

it is hard to organize this from a distance, over the internet and phone.
lets do what we can together and then i will contact one of the key refugee
organizers in seattle.

finally to do press work with national and international media, this is
needed later.

to talk to our key contact in seattle you may contact berndette
