Three years ago today, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated. In New Orleans, the vast majority of residents lived in areas damaged by the storm.

Every survivor of the hurricane has a human right to return home. But tens of thousands remain displaced, many living in inadequate temporary shelter or even homeless. After three years, the people of the Gulf Coast still face a human rights crisis.

Many survivors can’t return, due to the lack of affordable housing in the Gulf Coast. Ongoing demolitions of public housing developments in New Orleans have made the situation even worse.

It's up to the federal government to meet its responsibility to guarantee the right to return for everyone displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Join me in calling on Congress to uphold human rights on the Gulf Coast.

It’s crucial that survivors' voices be heard. That's why I'm proud to have executive produced the new film Trouble the Water. Based on footage shot by Kimberly Rivers Roberts and her husband Scott, the movie shows the experience of 9th Ward residents trapped in New Orleans after the levees broke and their journey in the aftermath of the disaster. See Trouble the Water in a theater near you.

Tell Congress to uphold human rights on the Gulf Coast.

Trouble the Water, directed and produced by Tia Lessin and Carl Deal. “An endlessly moving, artlessly magnificent tribute to people the government didn't think worth saving.” - Time Magazine

Hurricane Katrina survivors have already lost too much. Help ensure that after three long years, they can finally return home.

In solidarity,

Danny Glover

About 40 years ago, the US stopped investing inmaintaining its levee system. This was, notso coincidentally, the time of the Vietnam War. It's odd that this simple information has not beenmade available to all Americans, isn't it? It took me nearly three years to dig it up. Had I had the resources of CNN, ABC, NBC,Fox or the New York Times, it should havetaken three days (maybe even three minutes.) - Ken -

About Me:

I'm pretty mild-mannered except when it comes to injustice. Then, Jesus in the Temple with the moneychangers is my example. I love to read, listen to music and play chess. God is my number one priority.
