Vigilia contra el Hostigamiento y por un Hogar Santuario
Vigil against harassment & for sanctuary
Friday, October 3rd, 6pm867 Capp Street (@ 24th Street)
tamales, chocolate, music

Join us to support Corado family in their struggle to defend their home against their landlord's cruel abuse. The Corado family are one of the last remaining long-term Latino working-class tenants in their building. The landlord has tripled the rent on the other vacant units and will resort to anything to force the Corado family out of their home. She has locked them out of their home three times in one week, smeared blood and feces on their front door, and falsely accused them of physical assault almost causing a wrongful arrest of an innocent tenant. We need to stop this landlord as well as others from using harassment and intimidation tactics to displace working-class immigrants, people of color and seniors from our communities.
We say No more displacement! No more harassment! Vote YES on M!

Two words... move out.

Rent control has ruined the city and caused landlords to resort to unethical tactics such as this. I am not supporting this landlord, simply stating that rent control is the root cause of many of the city's problems.
