Common Ground Relief



Here are some photos of the organization I am working for - Common Ground Relief. It is a kind of commune/collective/community organization. This house is home to many hippies, activists and general vagabonds. It houses a computer lab that is open to the public, free clothing, hot lunch everyday, and a legal clinic. There is a tent village in the backyard where many of them live.




These are the volunteers hard at work on legal issues.





These are some Collective People working on clothing distribution, wetlands protection, and addictions-counselling resources

Tents (and mud!) in the backyard. Lots of people live here.

Buildings across the street from Common Ground. These are occupied; note the debris out front.


These buildings are also accross from Common Ground but they are all boarded up and abandoned. They are marked with "TFW" which stands for "Toxic Flood Water."
