Trying to prevent the mass eviction of tenants from their rent regulated apartments is important, in my view. Please consider coming to the demonstration on Saturday on East 3rd Street in Manhattan between 1 Ave. & 2nd Ave.
The tenants at 47 East 3rd Street are threatened with eviction and homelessness (where could they find affordable housing?). Their landlord, stating that the tenants apartments are needed for the personal use of the owners, has won an unprecedented victory in NY State Courts. Any building could be emptied on the basis of such a claim. Yours, mine. I spoke to a rent regulated tenant in Stuyvesant Town who could not imagine being vulnerable to eviction on such a basis. Welcome to 2007.
If you want to participate in the march which starts before the rally, meet me at 9th Street and Avenue B at Noon. After the demonstration, you can go to the Anarchist Book Fair at Judson Memorial Church (55 Washington Square South)only a few block away. What is an anarchist book fair anyway -- disordered books? Books of or books by anarchists?
