Marina Drummer, dedicated advocate of Common Ground Relief and the Angola 3, passed a pleasant visit with friend and ally Robert King (of the Angola 3) at New Orleans' House of Excellence before they proceeded on to Baton Rouge.

Recently, Common Ground Relief was excited to welcome a very special friend as she visited Common Ground sites with co-founder Malik Rahim.

Common Ground is different from many organizations in that it was not begun in an office building, with a budget laid out and a board in place. Common Ground began with friends reaching out to each other in a time of deep need, in the spirit of mutual aid. Marina was just such a friend who answered the call for help even before Katrina's waters had left the city, and right beside Common Ground is where she has stayed, giving assistance and guidance in countless forms.

Hello,

I want to thank everyone for your support and the great help that our new friends in New Orleans have provided with benefit fundraisers.

I have attached two important documents. The first is our media advisory on our benefit concert on Sept. 20th in Jena. Please circulate this media advisory to your contacts in the media. Please make plans to participate in all the events on the 20th in Jena.

The second attachment is a document that lists our demands for justice. Anything that you can do to help in achieving these demands is greatly appreciated. Banners and placards with these demands printed on them are welcomed at the rally on the 20th and future rallies.

Malik Rahim, one of the three co founders of Common Ground Relief, will address a mass anti war rally in Washington, DC on September 15th.

A mini bus transporting a number of Common Ground volunteers will depart New Orleans on September 11th.
Common Ground supporters, located in route between the two cities, are encouraged to schedule fund raising benefits for the organization, to support its various community projects and programs in New Orleans’ most devastated areas.

The engagements could occur either during the trip to DC or on the return journey to New Orleans. Malik plus volunteer coordinators, organizers and project leaders will be available to speak at the events.
