Katrina Survivors to DC: UPDATE

I blogged about this a couple days ago (link) so I thought I'd give an update.

The Campaign for America's Future, along with Voices for Working Families, ACORN, AFSCME, and SEIU, succeeded in their campaign to bring Katrina survivors to DC to speak to the press and our elected officials regarding the failures of the response and rebuilding efforts in the affected regions. 12 individuals from the effected region, many more then the 5 who were hoped for, spoke to the press and our countries leaders on Tuesday, October 25 2005.

I won't try to summarize the events, as other have already done so. The Campaign for America's Future has a great page summarizing the events here . They also have links at articles written about the event, participant bios, and videos from the events.
