DESCRIPTION:HELP STOP RACIST REDEVELOPMENT  by Patrick Monk.RN Sunday, Mar. 05, 2006 at 
 5:35  PM  Join our black Brothers and Sisters from  Bayview-Hunters Point 
 as they rally to demand  answers  from the Redevelopment Agency and City 
 Planning.  Help  prevent a repeat of the destruction of the Fillmore  and 
 displacement and relocation of residents.  2 DAYS 2 DOOMSDAY  WHICH SIDE 
 ARE YOU ON  WHO'S WATCHING THE WATCHDOGS.  SAVE BAYVIEW-HUNTERS POINT  NO 
 MORE RACIST REDEVELOPMENT.  Help Stop "Negro Removal" and White 
 Gentrification  of  San Francisco's Remaining Black Community.  We appeal 
 to all those who still care about and are  committed to Human and Civil 
 Rights and Equality, to  support us in our struggle to preserve and serve 
 the  residents of this community in San Francisco who are  under threat of 
 having their homes and properties  seized in the name of 'urban renewal' 
 and  'redevelopment'; a situation disturbingly analogous to  the current 
 plight of New Orleans residents. Both  communities are the victims of 
 decades of neglect by  local, state and federal authorities. But now  
 developers and speculators, in cahoots with local  'power brokers', see an 
 opportunity to move in and  gentrify these previously 'undesirable' 
 neighborhoods,  potentially displace and relocate many current  residents, 
 build more upscale and unaffordable  housing, destroying the history and 
 integrity of  existing communities.  We appeal to all and any of you, 
 especially those  within commuting distance of San Francisco, to join  us:- 
  TUESDAY. MARCH 7th. 3PM. CITY HALL. SF.  for a rally and press conference, 
 MC'd by Maurice  Campbell of ANSWER, prior to the scheduled meeting  of  
 the Redevelopment Agency, at which they plan to  reclassify over 1,000 
 acres, encompassing the entire  'homelands' of the community, making all 
 property  potentially subject 'seizure by eminent domain' if the  owners 
 are not appropriately submissive and  compliant  with the Master ('massa') 
 Plan.  Some 'progressive democratic leaders' in California  who claim to be 
 for democracy, have objected to  receiving 'damned emails' and other 
 information about  this. Claiming it is 'an insular issue'..'they dont  
 need to hear about it'..'quit bothering all the  people'. Maybe if the 
 "Democratic" Party had spent  the  last few decades listening to the 
 people, representing  and responding to their needs instead of just making  
 empty promises at election time and then negotiating  deals and compromises 
 after all the votes were  supposedly counted, we would not be in the dire  
 straits we now find ourselves in. One thing the  'radical right' did 'do 
 right' over this period was to  focus on the tedious, unglamorous but 
 essential work  of electing dogcatchers and school boards, identifying  and 
 unifying their base behind a winning strategy and  platform they were 
 dedicated to, and could be relied  upon to implement. They are now reaping 
 their unjust  rewards and the rest of us are being swept away in a  
 hurricane of disenfranchisement. This issue effects us  all, whether we 
 realise and acknowldge it or not. We  desparately need ethical leaders of 
 courage and  committment who realise that an injury to one is an  injury to 
 all. ALL politics is local, and unless and  untill these self appointed 
 leaders and spokefolks  grasp that..well the alligators will be up to and  
 chewing on our ears...if they aren't already.  Please help and support us 
 in whatever way you feel  comfortable.  Be There. Show Your Love. Show Your 
 Power.  Thankyou. Patrick Monk.RN. Noe Valley.SF.  For more info please
