Report gives voice to Katrina victims struggling to return home and to badly exploited reconstruction workers

Immigrants' Rights Update, Vol. 20, Issue 3, August 17, 2006

      "And Injustice for All: Workers' Lives in the Reconstruction of New Orleans" comprises the most comprehensive documentation of post-Katrina worker conditions to date.  It is a compilation of personal narratives based on more than 700 interviews with workers, giving voice to New Orleanians struggling to return home and to workers, many of them immigrants, who are helping to reconstruct the city — all of whom are attempting to survive in the face of inequitable and unjust policies and practices of public and private institutions.

      The report was researched, written, and produced by the Advancement Project, NILC, and the New Orleans Worker Justice Coalition.
