DESCRIPTION:Anti-Gentrification Block Party\nMission District, 16th and Mission BART 
 Plaza\nSunday, May 5th, 1pm\n\nIn the last several decades, thousands of 
 people have been displaced from the Mission District due to evictions, high 
 rents, rising cost of living, transportation costs, and a lack of access to 
 employment and education. In the last several years, rent for many has 
 almost doubled. This Cinco de Mayo, (May 5th), join with Mission residents 
 to speak out and gather to build a culture of resistance against 
 gentrification in San Francisco and beyond.\n\nRally Support for In the 
 Works Facing Eviction!\n\nOur friends at ITW (intheworkssf.wordpress.com) 
 are currently facing eviction from their building, after a new landlord, 
 Rick Holman, has purchased the property. As they stated recently, “Rick 
 Holman, a previous Bank of America executive, and his wife, Toby Levy, are 
 long time gentry…Rick is a financier and businessman and Toby owns Levy 
 Design Partners, an architectural firm. Rick finds, finances, buys, then 
 evicts, and Toby comes in to design the new street level commercial and 2nd 
 and above level condominiums.” They went on to state in another 
 statement: “Rick Holman is currently collecting soil samples from 60 feet 
 under the building, indicating that he is interested in building a parking 
 garage for a new condo development. We cannot allow another block in the 
 Mission to be gentrified.” Please come out to the block party to rally 
 support for ITW and let them know they are not alone as they begin their 
 fight to save their home.\n\n*Free Food! Pizzas donated by Arizmendi, tacos
