 AND INJUSTICE FOR ALL: Workers’ Lives in the Reconstruction of New Orleans

This report raises the voices of New Orleanians struggling to return home and reconstruction workers, all of whom are attempting to survive in the face of inequitable and unjust policies and practices of public and private institutions. This report uses the stories of the workers to identify particular policies and practices that are putting workers of color on a race to the bottom. The report is intended to provide a road map for organizers, advocates, policymakers, and funders by providing data and direction with regard to some of the most pressing needs of Hurricane Katrina survivors and reconstruction workers in New Orleans.
