A Personal Narrative By Alette Kendrick
My name is Alette Kendrick. I’m a third year student here at UC Santa Cruz, majoring in History. For the past three years, I’ve devoted a great deal of my time and myself to social justice movements here on campus. Specifically, I’ve done a lot of work in labor solidarity organizations with different campus workers’ unions, and with student organized anti-war efforts.

Mayor Gavin Newsom in bed with Lennar Corp. - too many innocent people suffering.
Mayor Gavin Newsom is in bed with Lennar BVHP LLC. This action will come to haunt the Mayor first and those cronies that have bent backwards to help Lennar BVHP LLC too. For years we have been saying that Lennar has a track record that adversely impacts those customers that have been fooled to make a deal with Lennar BVHP LLC. Lennar builds poor homes and mostly on toxic hot spots - to many known as Brown Fields. And when it comes to construction - its product is inferrior....

Lennar BVHP LLC irks community and now has to pay for it - sell outs bought in droves.
Lennar BVHP LLC has done everything wrong by first trying to buy everyone - every dog, every weasel, anyone that is corrupt - spending millions in San Francisco. Lennar then went to bed with the SF Mayor's Office promising the confused Mayor Gavin the sky. The sky is falling down, the community is irked and Lennar ain't seen anything yet. They have just seen the lighting - now follows the thunder - the vibrations of which they have never, ever, seen before. You asked for it scum bags - and no...
