HOMES NOT JAILS on the March!

by Bill Carpenter (wcarpent [at] ccsf.edu)
Second annual Open House at the Hotel Sierra.

The squatters collective, Homes Not Jails, rallied at Dolores Park on July 4th after the San Francisco Mime Troupe performance. HNJ then marched to the Hotel Sierra at Mission & 20th Sts. and staged a public 'open occupation' of the hotel which has been vacant for 19 years.

Three-minute QT movie. 31MB.
