On the night of Dec. 13th we broke the windows of Zephyr Real Estate

You want us out of our homes; you want us out of our city.
We want you out too.
On the night of Dec. 13th we broke the windows of Zephyr Real Estate

You want us out of our homes; you want us out of our city.
We want you out too.

On the night of Wed Dec. 13th we broke the windows of Zephyr real estate, and we smeared paint on their building.

Zephyr real estate deserved it, responsible for the evictions of hundreds maybe thousands of San Francisco families,
responsible for what happens to us after we are evicted (hunger, homelessness, displacement)

They break our spirits, and our families; we broke a few windows

They evict us from our homes; we smeared some paint on their building

They have insurance to insurance to replace their windows; and we have residential hotels, soup lines, and unemployment.

On the uneven field of combat we find ourselves on we are not the antagonists, forced out of our city and forced out of homes, all we can do is react.

We tried reasoning and understanding, we tried the streets and the planning commission, and we tried the ballot box;

now we try bricks and the cover of fog.

What we try next is up to you, we have our eye on escalation.

We isolated a symptom a real estate agent,

The cough that let us know we have bronchitis,

The disease is the government, and capitalism.

This action should not be seen as an attack, not as a response in like; we haven’t gotten there yet. It is more like a greeting card; a statement of intent; a breaking of the ice.

The warning shot is coming, and the war after that.
Don’t think that we aimed low this time, we just aimed reasonably.

Tierra y Libertad

We look forward to the day that you will leave us alone, we look forward to peace, good education, good food, and no police. We look forward to freedom, we dream; but when we wake up you are still there.
Please leave.

Sincerely;
@WP

Thank you for your help. I was evicted from my SF apartment and became homeless for two years, trying to survive while being disabled. We must dismantle the economic profit system of the rich in order to create any sort of real change, and that is what you are doing. I wish I was still around SF to join you!

I lived in San Francisco two years ago and worked in a bank office, a law firm, and doing messenger work. I was so poor I lived off and on in hotels and would have to get out after a month for one day...the one hotel I lived in was near Russian hill and I would shop at REAL FOODS with all the yuppies w/ food stamps...totally bizzare. I really think you're on the right track. I wish someone would put the kind of fear I had every approaching rent day inot these blood sucking vermin that are destroying America or what's left of it. It's only marginally better here but at least I got a pad and food ect. now that I'm through with that. Nobody wants to think they could be homeless too but they can and I wish you could force those fuckers at DAMON RAIKE/ZEPHR/AND CODWELL BANKER to sleep in roach infested beds and here gun-shots and screaming at night..it would only be poetic!
