Malcolm Suber, a founder and leader of the People’s Hurricane Relief Fund in New Orleans, announced his candidacy for an at-large seat on the New Orleans City Council on Sept. 6. The election takes place on Oct. 20.
Suber has been in the forefront of exposing the racist criminal neglect by local, state and federal governmental officials shown toward the majority Black population during and after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Suber is a Katrina survivor.
Suber and the PHRF have also promoted Black-Brown unity in New Orleans, where there have been attempts by white-dominated corporate interests to drive a superficial wedge between Katrina survivors and immigrant workers.
Suber’s campaign will be representing the Reconstruction Party, founded in New Orleans Sept. 2. The following information on Suber’s candidacy comes from www.malcolmforcitycouncil.com. Suber’s campaign supporters include former Georgia U.S.
