Description
Tanya Harris-Glasow is a community organizer who was a resident of the Lower Ninth Ward and a member of ACORN prior to Hurricane Katrina. The storm transformed her role, and she became a central figure in ACORN's post-disaster organizing efforts in New Orleans. She was a founding member of the Katrina Survivors Association and, after ACORN's dissolution, A Community Voice. Her work involved direct action coordination, policy advocacy, leadership training, and coalition-building. Her firsthand experience as a displaced resident gave her a unique and powerful perspective on the fight for housing rights, community self-determination, and racial justice in the rebuilding of New Orleans.
