NOLA UPDATE 3: WHAT CAN I DO?

One of the reactions I’m already getting to “The Fight for Home: How (Parts of) New Orleans Came Back” is “What can I do?”

That’s pretty quick since the official pub date is today.

But it’s a good question with lots of answers. One of them is you might support the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, which does an amazing job getting health care to the city’s musicians.

Before, during, and after the flood, NOMC has been providing basic services to a group of residents who mostly don’t have insurance or other resources. That’s about to get harder with Governor Jindal making (what I see) as a partisan decision to decline the Medicaid help available through Obamacare.

Musicians aren’t that different from their fellow residents and others across the country: often infrequent and low-paying work, poor health, trouble accessing what services there are. The Musicians’ Clinic is making a difference.

Think of it as a place to start writing a new ending to “The Fight for Home.”
