DESCRIPTION:Join a diverse group of community-based organizations and activists for a 
 "People's Forum" to commemorate and critically reappraise what happened 100 
 years ago, and what must change today to save lives and prevent 
 displacement of vulnerable, working people from the city's landscape.   
 Distinguished Emcee Bob Wing, Activist and Writer   Panelists Include:  
 Connie Young Yu, Historian and Author of Chinatown, San Jose, USA    CC 
 Campbell-Rock, Katrina Survivor, Community Organizer, and Journalist  
 Willie Ratcliff, Community Activist and Editor of San Francisco Bay View 
 newspaper      Chris Carlsson, Board President, Counterpulse and Executive 
 Director, Shaping San Francisco: An Interactive Multimedia Excavation of 
 the Lost History of San Francisco  Shanell Williams, Community Activist, 
 Former SF Youth Commissioner      History has revealed that the 1906 
 Earthquake and Fire, and the monumental, post-disaster rebuilding efforts, 
 gave tragic rise to a modern era of twentieth-century displacement and 
 gentrification of working-class people, immigrants and communities of color 
 throughout San Francisco.  In 2005, the nation witnessed how Hurricane 
 Katrina and the government's racist and cruel response devastated the 
 social and economic conditions of these same communities in the Gulf Coast 
 region.      One hundred years later we ask: "What would happen if another 
 earthquake shakes up San Francisco? Who would survive? Who would be 
 displaced? And would the city be rebuilt for the wealthy, power elite and 
 corporations that dominant the debate?"      Join us for the discussion!  
 This event is co-sponsored by the Chinatown Community Development Center, 
 Mission Agenda, The Progressive Voter Project, Senior Action Network and 
 the San Francisco Peoples' Organization, along with Supervisor Chris Daly, 
 Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi and Supervisor Aaron Peskin.      \n
