As part of Gulf Cost Recovery Week, two FEMA trailers that are on tour across the country to raise awareness about the ongoing nature of the crisis in the region, and the continued lack of coherent government action to rebuild the region, will be present on the American University Quad. The trailers are particularly focused on rebuilding the Gulf Coast in a manner that meets the needs of its poor and minority residents.

The trailers will be used as a focus for local education and organizing, as a challenge to elected officials to make their plans for Gulf Coast reconstruction clear, and as a rallying point to help to mobilize the many thousands who have volunteered their time in work projects to now join in the political efforts to force meaningful government action.
