I received the following in my email from Quintus Jett of African Americans for Democracy, and wanted to share it here, in the hopes that you will pass it along to anyone who might be interested, and post it at other blogs, Yahoo groups, etc:
On Monday September 12 (8-9pm EST), I’m scheduled to blog again at My Vote Is My Voice.
Weeks ago, the plan was to report on the progress of AAFD’s Contract with Black America.
Instead, the focus will be on African American reactions to government failures in response to Hurrican Katrina, and AAFD’s proposal to help establish New Orleans evacuuees (who are mostly black) establish themselves as a constituency that will be heard in further government response efforts. A proposal of tangible actions will be submitted for discussion.

executive director, AAFD
