“Our Mission, NO Evictions!” May Day Protest At City Hall

This May 1st neighbors, community organizations and local merchants opposed to the rapid pace of displacement/evictions in the Mission, will take the fight to City Hall, and stand up to the policies that are destroying  the cultural and social fabric of our neighborhoods.

Community leader and activist Roberto Hernandez reminds us that:

“Over 4,000 households have been evicted from their home is San Francisco in the past 2 years, and our elected officials have FAILED to address the HOUSING CRISIS!”

Join Roberto and the Our Mission NO Evictions coalition to help stop the over-development of luxury condos in the mission, and to stop evictions perpetrated by greedy developers.  We at Broke-Ass Stuart endorse this direct political action against developers, and stand behind Our Mission NO Eviction’s quest to create policies and long term solutions that protect our communities.

Bellow is the list of demands being made by Our Mission NO evictions.  And if you would like to sign up and volunteer you can find the signup sheet here along with the contact information for your city supervisors.  To stay tuned to event scheduling and updates for the May 1st Protest, ‘like’ their facebook page here.
