This week is a week of action around the old Kelly Moore site at 3400 Cesar Chavez. Here's what's happening:

Hello Folks! Please come out and participate in the Week of Action to defeat the current project proposed for 3400 Cesar Chavez/ Kelly Moore Site in the Mission District. Seven Hills Properties wants to build 60 Condominium units with all but 9 priced at $550,000 and above, and a Walgreens on the ground floor. We don't need more market rate condos in the Mission District or in San Francisco. We have the chance to defeat this project at the Board of Supervisors hearing on July 17 @3 PM at City Hall. Community organizations in the Mission District have fought for years for sites like 3400 Cesar Chavez to become 100 percent affordable housing. An alternative project is being proposed by groups like the Mission Anti displacement Coalition (MAC) to create up to 70 units of affordable rental housing with community space on the ground floor for the Day Labor Program and other community organizations. Another Project is Possible! We hope to see you (and your friends) there. For a list of events, please see the schedule below or visit http://www.myspace.com/missionantidisplacement (make us your friend while you are at it, if you are not already!) We as the working class, immigrants, students, youth, families, and queer community have a right to housing, a right to community space, a right to the City. Let's make sure developers like Seven Hills Properties (developer of the 3400 Cesar Chavez site) and the Board of Supervisors get the message loud and clear!
