DU's search function is down... so this may be a repeat. But did you hear about it??

They returned last night (early this morning) after the feds made them wait ALL DAY for NOTHING.

2. yes

my partner works with a progressive church here in dc and they (as part of a larger coalition) are able to provide housing and other needed assistance but plans are now on hold awaiting that information

so incredibly sad

though i also understand that many are being taken away from new orleans etc without knowledge of where they are being sent to
and some of them are sent off still separated from family that were also rescued

the tragedy continues
