Twenty Years After the Storm
What home meant before, and after, Hurricane Katrina
20 years ago this month, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. For so many New Orleanians, our lives are demarcated by this moment. If someone ask you about an event or memory from the past, we say βwas it before or after the storm?β On this twentieth anniversary, I wrote about going back home.

Iβm a union member and requesting you to call the affiliate unions of the AFL-CIO into some form of organized action. Jobs are being lost to an autocrat and organized labor must take action. We are ready to do so but we must be big and organized. Now is the time!!
