§9/30 SF Bernal Heights Library Music & Solidarity Rally

Join a community/labor concert and rally to defend the Victor Jara mural at the Bernal Heights Library. Using a manipulated non-transparent process excluding most of the community the Friends of the Library and corporateers want to spend $110,000 to destroy this historic mural and replace it with a sanitized design censoring the real history of Bernal Heights.

The so called "Friends of the Library" are benefiting financially from the destruction of the historic Victor Jara mural at the San Francisco Bernal Heights Library. The "Friends" are getting a fiscal fee of over $10,000 to destroy the mural.
Musicians Francisco Hererra and Rafael Manriquez who is from Chile performed Victor Jara songs and spoke about the need to defend the mural from being destroyed.
