Common Ground Relief Thanks Laurie David, Sheryl Crow and Stop Global Warming Campaign

Common Ground Relief wants to thank Laurie David, Sheryl Crow and the Stop Global Warming Campaign for stopping by the Lower Ninth Ward and supporting New Orleans Residents' struggles to return home.

The Stop Global Warming Campaign (www.stopglobalwarming.org) encourages individual action that proactively addresses practices that lead to global warming.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina and Rita devestated much of the Gulf Coast. And today, residents of the region are still struggling to rebuild their lives and communities. Common Ground works under the principle that all people of conscience must work together to ensure that New Orleans, a city of utmost historical and national importance, is no longer victim to the environmental degradation and institutional racism that allowed Katrina and Rita to turn natural disasters into national tragedies.

We thank Laurie, Sheryl and the Stop Global Warming Campaign for their support of our organization and their efforts in the struggle for peace and justice.
