Post Sandy Call To Action

Where is the City? Public Money should Serve Public Interests.

Two months after Superstorm Sandy the disaster is not over and relief needs are still great.

Homes are uninhabitable with black mold taking hold, heat and sanitation are still absent in many

places. Yet the government response has been glaringly absent. As with Katrina and other recent

disaster-and-recovery events city, state and federal agencies have handed off reconstruction

resources and responsibility to corporations and markets.

That hand-off has pushed affected people further out of their communities, further into crisis and

vulnerability, and further from the decision-making tables that allocate public resources. Where

government has failed, Occupy and other groups stepped in.

But we now understand that climate change has turned a corner: we will be hard hit again by

extreme weather events. And so we ask whose interests our government serves? Is it polluters,

predatory lenders, and disaster profiteers? Or can we build a stronger, better, resilient New York

where all of us, regardless of race, class or power, can weather future storms?
