More voices from the Gulf Coast

There are a number of sites featuring excellent unfiltered voices from the Gulf, for an "on-the-ground" perspective of the Gulf recovery. We mentioned two earlier here.

Another excellent resource is the Ms. Foundation, one of our collaborators on the Blueprint for Gulf Renewal report, which went to the Gulf Coast this month and trained grassroots women leaders in radio production. From their website:
As part of our capacity building efforts in the region, from August 6th-12th, 2007, the Ms. Foundation ran two intensive radio documentary training sessions for our grantees in Gulfport, MS and Baton Rouge, LA. Women and girls who were and continue to be impacted by Katrina came together to learn the ins and outs of radio production, guided in the process by radio documentary experts from the People's Production House. The resulting documentaries are now airing on Pacifica stations across the country.
You can listen to the full range of audio documentaries here. They are a moving and powerful set of testimonies to what is really happening in the region.
