The Green Party Outreach Committee says:

"Let's send Malik Rahim to the US House of Representatives!"

Malik Rahim, founder of Common Ground Relief, is running in Congress for New
Orleans District 2 in a special election on December 6th.

Under Malik's leadership, the Common Ground Collective opened the first free
health clinic in the city of New Orleans, helped reopen schools, gutted over
3,000 homes that needed repair in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans, and
provided direct services to nearly 200,000 returning residents. He is former
Black Panther, co-founder -of the anti-death penalty group "Pilgrimage for
Life," with Sister Helen Prejean. On November 12, Malik Rahim received the
Thomas Merton Award(http://www.thomasmertoncenter.org) for his work in
community organizing and providing relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
