A small group of protesters targeted U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole's Raleigh office today.
Led by the Institute for Southern Studies, 15 protesters said that a Senate committee has held up a bill that would provide housing assistance in New Orleans.
Nana Nantambu, a former resident of New Orleans, said she will not return because of exploitative rents charged by landlords and poor housing stock.
"It is a violation of our human rights," she said.
In the video above, Ajamu Dillahunt with the N.C. Justice Center says he will deliver a letter to Dole asking her to help pass Senate Bill 1668.
"New Orleans needs homes for the holidays," read one sign.
