May 19th, 2012 A Community Voice members gather to clean up the 1300 block of Forstall Street in the Lower 9th Ward. Across from Bonart Playground and swimming pool and 3 blocks from where school children, the elderly and single women catch the bus, was an open and un-boarded abandoned home and overgrown area. ACV members cleaned this blight up as a part of the City’s Love Your Block. Thanks to the City for a $500 gift care to buy equipment, the small businesses in the Lower 9th Ward who donated water and garbage bags and to the many volunteers for their hard work.
May 17th, 2012 A Community Voice members gathered in the Upper 9th Ward to work on their campaign to get the Recovery School District (RSD) and Lathan Construction to take responsibility for damaging homes during the reconstruction of Frantz School.
This is an ongoing campaign and A Community Voice will not give up we get justice for these homeowners.
A Community Voice held a meeting on May 10th, 2012 in the Lower 9th Ward with city officials to get an update on rebuilding progress in the Lower 9 and demand jobs for residents on the rebuilding projects such as the Streetscape project on N.
