FEMA plans to evict thousands of victims of Hurricane Katrina on March 15. Thousands have already been evicted. Trailers sit unused.

“Our federal government is engaged in a campaign to exclude poor and black people from the new version of the city it allowed to be destroyed,” according to Democrats.Com.

So on March 14, tens of thousands of Americans will skip work and march from the U.S. Capitol to the White House and say they will not leave until Bush announces a plan for housing and orders an end to evictions.

A press conference will be held from 1-2 p.m. outside the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, and there will be a Mardi Gras-style march for justice from 2-3 p.m., from the Capitol South metro stop to the White House. That will be followed by a rally and protest from 3-11:59 p.m. in Lafayette Square Park.
