2/11/06 Community Gumbo
2/12/06 update: The problem uploading the Lauren Anderson interview has been resolved by bypassing the Indymedia site and uploading instead to another host server.
2/13/06 update: Back to Indymedia -- technical staff there appear to have corrected the upload problem, which is good, because Indymedia does a better job streaming media files than the fall back server did.
In this edition of Community Gumbo, a conversation with Lauren Anderson (2/07/2006), the Director of Neighborhood Housing Services, and a member of "Women of the Storm." Anderson talks about her trip to Washington, D.C. with Women of the Storm to urge members of Congress to travel to New Orleans to witness the destruction from Hurricane Katrina, the array of challenges confronting home owners, the Baker bill, home owners who didn't have flood insurance, the plan to reduce the city's footprint, and the federal government's obligation to homeowners.
