MALCOLM SUBER
Suber works with the People’s Hurricane Relief Fund. He said today: “It wasn’t Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans, it was the government failure on the levees. And it’s been one failure after another since. The government has failed to ensure that people can return to their communities and now FEMA is evicting 40,000 of these people from emergency housing.”
