Subject: Urgent Request: Occupy Isaac's Partner, Community Kitchen Needs
 Supplies to Feed NOLA!

 Hello Everyone! The Occupy Movement, Common Ground Collective, Rainbow
Kitchen, Food not Bombs and the Common Ground Clinic are collaborating to
help bring medical supplies, food and water to the community in New
Orleans.
View Occupy Isaac's Hub <http://www.interoccupy.net/occupyisaac> for
complete info and updates.

Email occupyisaac at interoccupy.net with any questions.

Because of Hurricane Isaac - people have been left without food, water, and
power. They have no money and no way to feed themselves. Occupy camps
nationwide will act to procure donations of Medical Supplies and Food by
performing fundraising drives nationwide.  Collected Supplies with be sent
to Occupy Distribution Hubs in Jackson, MS; Tuscaloosa, AL; and Birmingham,
AL (more hubs being set up around New Orleans now) and then transported
into the New Orleans.  Occupy NOLA, Rainbow Kitchens and Food not Bombs
will set up mobile kitchens to feed those displaced not only by Isaac but
also by Katrina (over 10,000 victims live on the streets to this day).
Common Ground Clinic and Common Ground Collective will provide medical and
disaster relief.
