Gulf Coast Voices
...People’s Production House has been traveling to New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Houma and Baker, Louisiana, and more recently to Gulfport and Biloxi in Mississippi to capture the voices of those most dramatically affected by Hurricane Katrina. Our work in the Gulf Coast region has involved the production of radio and print stories through our CNPI project, and the training of community organizers to make their own media.

After Katrina many survivors were moved into large FEMA trailer parks. Two years later, they remain warehoused in these trailer parks. Renaissance Village, 100 miles from New Orleans is one such trailer park, which is the largest FEMA trailer park in the country. With 500 trailers, many residents have been stuck there for close to two years. This piece was produced by youth who live in the trailer park -- Eric Walker, Rasheka London and Keyana London, with help from youth from the United Houma Nation, Dana Solet and Cacinda Voisin.
