Update on Hurricane Katrina anniversary action at NOAA

In the August eNews we noted the August 26th action at the headquarters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Silver Spring, MD. Katrina survivors told their stories and national leaders in the climate change movement spoke out for a just reconstruction of New Orleans and for climate justice and truth telling. As names of the hundred of people victimized by Katrina and government inaction were read, the event culminated with a large "die-in" on the sidewalk in front of NOAA.

Book Announcement: Just released--Mike Tidwell, director, United States Climate Emergency Council, The Ravaging Tide: Strange Weather, Future Katrinas, and the Coming Death of America's Coastal Cities, which goes into great depth about global warming and its connection to hurricanes.
