URGENT OAKLAND ACTION: DEFEND PUBLIC HOUSING IN NEW ORLEANS
Friday 12/14 @ 12pm, Oakland!
Support public housing residents from New Orleans to the Bay Area!
Housing is a Human Right!
In the next few days, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) plans to bulldoze more than 5,000 livable public housing units in New Orleans, Louisiana. This attack specifically targets working class women of color and their children, who have been working to reclaim these units since Hurricane Katrina.
In response to this crisis, New Orlean’s Coalition to Stop theDemolition has called for national support. The Katrina Solidarity Network (KSN) invites you to join with us in a solidarity demonstration to say NO to Ethnic Cleansing from the Gulf Coast to the Bay Area!
Everyday more and more Bay Area residents experience first hand the result of ongoing gentrification policies in San Francisco and Oakland. KSN views the current housing crisis in New Orleans as part of a larger attack on the existence of public housing nationally.
We hope that you will join with us to send a message to development corporations and congress: We know that in order to stop the destruction of our local communities, we must Stop The Bulldozers in New Orleans!
WHEN: Friday, December 14th at 12:00 pm
WHERE: 13th Street and Broadway in Oakland
WHO: Everyone that supports the Human Right to Shelter is welcome to attend and help organize the protest.
