Faith leaders urge long-term solutions for Gulf Coast: A "moral crisis"
More than 100 religious leaders have urged the federal government and both major political parties to develop long-term solutions to address poverty and environmental concerns along the Gulf Coast.
In an attempt to solve what they called a “moral crisis,” the religious leaders sent the statement last month to national leaders of both parties to urge them to restore the Gulf Coast communities by creating resident-led partnerships that will enable residents to help in the rebuilding.
