On Monday September 22...
In this corner... you have vulture speculators, money hungry Realtors, hater NIMBY's and bottom-line developers vying for the heart & soul of La Misión and the entire Eastern Neighborhoods. Their corner is stacked with developer-friendly policies and pushover bureaucrats that have supported the block by block, house by house gentrification of the City. They lay waste to the community by displacing long-time residents and merchants; they close doors and thus opportunities to newly arrived immigrant families; and leave behind out-of-reach condos and an inhospitable environment for children and their families.
In the other corner... we have tens of thousands of hard-working families who for generations have strengthened our communities with little fanfare and less than enthusiastic support from City hall. But despite the odds- brown, black & blue-collar peoples have persevered and built amazing communities with strong social networks, thriving local economies and a legacy of cultural activism. Because of this the Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition developed the People's Plan: the community's blueprint for urban land reform and the development of dignified jobs and affordable housing for all of us.
In typical fashion, the City's Planning Department rejected the People's Plan and took the developers' side. Now the Supervisors must decide:
WHOSE SIDE ARE THEY ON? WHAT SIDE ARE YOU ON IN THE RUMBLE FOR THE MISSION?
Join us this Monday at the Board of Supervisors Land Use Committee. Let Supervisors Maxwell, Peskin & Sandoval hear our voices as we demand the Peoples Plan.
