March in Washington, DC to stop evictions of those displaced by Katrina

On March 1st, this country is going to put mothers and children, Katrina Survivors into the streets to become Americas new homeless, while trailers sink in the ground in Hope, Arkansas. President Bush promised to spend whatever it takes to ensure the recovery of the Gulf Coast region. He promised to ensure that the displaced would be able to return home. He has broken his promise to Katrina survivors and to this nation.

We need you to come to Washington DC on February 28, 2006 to demand a stop to evictions, demand trailers for survivors and demand the passing of H.R. 4197.

I am in general not that big on street protests as they tend to put a load on the city's infrastructure and services without producing any tangible results. However in this case if I were in the DC area I'd consider participating. Those evictions are an outrage - especially given the way they are done.
