HOMEY mural "SOLIDARITY: BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS" Under Attack!

by repost (Bay View)
Muralist Susan Greene denounces censorship attempt by the Jewish Community Relations Council and the Anti-Defamation League:
"I am writing to ask your support for a very wonderful mural that is under attack in San Francisco due to its support for Palestinian resistance to the Israeli occupation and the wall in particular. The mural, funded by the city, is being painted by HOMEY, Homies Organizing the Mission to Empower Youth. The lead artist is Eric Norberg.
The mural is called "Solidarity: Breaking Down Barriers." The section that is being attacked depicts Palestinians breaking through the Apartheid Wall.

"The Jewish Community Relations Council and the Anti-Defamation League are demanding that the muralists remove this section of the mural and have gone to the San Francisco Art Commission to complain. The city of San Francisco is withholding payment until the matter is resolved."
