[IfasehunReincarnated]

ASSATA SPEAKS MONTHLY ACTION ALERT
PAN-AFRIKAN HURRICANE RELIEF PROJECT

October 2005 (WHERE TO READ FULL ALERT AND MAKE A DONATION)



PLAN OF ACTION:
Raise $15,000 for Pan-Afrikan organizations who are providing direct aid to Afrikans impacted by Hurricane Katrina and Rita. Also facilitate the donation of $15,000 non-monetary donations like clothes, food, water, and transportation services in the following cities: Atlanta, St. Louis and Houston, which will then be transported to affected cities.

PURPOSE OF ACTION:
Many of 100,000s of families that impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita will need assistance for as long as year. In some cases, longer. They will not only need basic emergency assistance (which is defined here as clothes, food, water), but they will also need various social services that provide job and housing referrals, transportation, family counseling, and small financial assistance. The purpose of this action is to support Afrikan-run organizations that have the desire, ability to support dislocated families and have expressed a willingness to report their activities to those that make donations of money, goods or services. These organizations will have lower overhead costs and are interested in our people beyond politics and headlines, unlike other large organizations like Red Cross, WorldVision, UNChildren etc.

Peace Afrikans!
First I would like to say that I am proud of the efforts of assatashakur.org for this very dedicated pro-active, Blafrikancellent project, I have both spread the word of this action alert to many brothers and sistas and I also have made my own monetary donation. May this work be continuously successfull and that our brothers and sistas who have been adversely affected by this disaster feel support and become strengthend by the work and efforts of our people.

Second, I have a question...

The Action Alert says:
"(2) If you have non-monetary donations and you live in Atlanta, St. Louis or Houston, contact us today so we can tell you where drop-off points are in your area."

So if I do not live in any of these places, how/where do I send my non-monetary items?

Blessings
