I forgot, too, about the tent cities that are in hawai'i and california--people so poor they can't afford anything else--they are even being kicked out of state parks. that is so amazing sokari–i’m looking forward to reading about what happens in haiti.

I really think we need to think about how to do this. Abahlali have already connected with Shackdwellers in Zimbabwe and Haiti so there is a beginning. I will be going down to Haiti in August to meet with some of the activists working in Cité-Soleil so that will be a link too. Recently some Abahlali members went to Turkey and I know Abahlali would be very interested in making new connections.

How can the work that all these amazing people are doing begin to be connected???? the thing i thought about when reading this was that i wonder if/how it would be possible to start connecting all these different movements of displaced peoples. indigenous peoples in the u.s./canada are living in similar conditions in many places, the peoples in mexico and south america–there are more shack dwellers than not.

All I can say is sorry to all the millions of displaced/forgotten/ignored people. Sorry.
