This video presents three stories of immigrants who left their homes in Bolivia, Haiti, and the Philippines after global economic powers devastated their countries, only to face new challenges in the United States. All contributions will go to NNIRR ** The Fall of the I-Hotel Tuesday, August 31st 8pm This film brings to life the battle for housing in San Francisco. The brutal eviction of the I-Hotel's tenants in 1977 ended a decade of spirited resistance. Almost 20 years since the International Hotel's demolition, the former site of the heart of Manilatown and home to more than 10,000 people in the 1950s, is still vacant. Many of its surviving elderly residents still seek low-cost replacement housing. This film resonates very clearly as homelessness becomes a fact of life in many cities today. All contributions will go to the Chinese Progressive Association ----------------------------------------------------------- Featured Organizations: National Network of Immigrant & Refugee Rights http://www.nnirr.org NNIRR is a national organization composed of local coalitions and immigrant, refugee, community, religious, civil rights and labor organizations and activists. It serves as a forum to share information and analysis, to educate communities and the general public, and to develop and coordinate plans of action on important immigrant and refugee issues. Chinese Progressive Association http://www.cpasf.org The Chinese Progressive Association is a grassroots membership-based organization that empowers the Chinese community in the San Francisco Bay Area and promotes justice and equality for all people. CPA's campaigns and programs improve the living and working conditions of low-income immigrants and give ordinary community members a stronger voice in the decision-making processes that affect them.
