Enough is Enough! We Demand Self-Determination for our Communities!
On MONDAY, OCTOBER 16th we call for our people to unite to end the City and County of San Francisco's official policy of de-population and systematic destruction of the African American, Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander and Immigrant communities of Bayview Hunters Point, Western Addition, the Mission, and South of Market.
WE DEMAND AN END TO:
~ Housing and condo development projects that displace poor African Americans, Latinos and Asian/Pacific Islanders, business development that tears down neighborhoods, and the evictions of families from the City;
~ The use of law enforcement to harass, abuse, and criminalize African American, Latino, and Asian/Pacific Islander youth and the use of the INS to deport immigrants;
~ The closure of schools and recreation centers in the poorest communities;
~ The disenfranchisement of more than 33,000 valid signatures that called for an end to the occupation of Bayview Hunters Point by the Redevelopment Agency;
~ Cameras and curfews as the answer to crime and violence
***Join us on the 10-year anniversary of the Million Man March and the anniversary of police brutality at Thurgood Marshall High School to demand an end to the destruction of our communities!
