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.
