A New Vision for the Post-Katrina Gulf Coast:
Community Leaders Discuss the Strategic Opportunities & Challenges Towards a Just, Equitable, and Sustainable Recovery of the Gulf Coast and its Residents

21CF, through the generosity of our hosts at the Open Society Institute in New York City, held a forum for those fighting to provide real solutions for the people we serve in the Gulf Coast region.  Our panelists were drawn from our dedicated grantees including:

Steven Bradberry - Louisiana ACORN - New Orleans, LA

Makani Themba-Nixon - Praxis Project, Washington, DC

Roberta Avila - Mississippi Interfaith Disaster Task Force/STEPS Coalition, Biloxi, MS

Bill Stallworth - Hope Coordination Center, Biloxi, MS

Tracie Washington - Louisiana Justice Institute, New Orleans, LA

Watch the video to see and see the passion and hear about their ongoing efforts  to help rebuild the lives of the people we serve.
