POOR PEOPLE'S MARCH FOR JUSTICE!!!! NOV. 2ND

POOR PEOPLE'S MARCH FOR JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!
SATURDAY, NOV. 2ND
NOON
24TH STREET AND MISSION

A coalition of different groups is pulling together a Poor People's March for Justice to up the level of resistance against the racist and anti-poor
attacks that we are facing in the form of ballot propositions in San Francisco this fall. For those who haven't yet heard, San Francisco is facing it's own local ballot war where - similar to propositions 187 or 209 - the social conservatives and big business class of San Francisco are bringing well funded initiatives to launch a counter attack against the gains community organizations and progressives had made in the last few years. Their plan? To so thoroughly gentrify the City that there won't be anyone left to disagree with their agenda.

Propositions N and R target homeless people and tenants for elimination. Prop N has been justified through the broad use of racist attacks and
stereotypes that characterize homeless or poor people as all drug addicts or lazy bums. Prop R is an attempt to end rent control and allow easier
conversion from apartments to condo's. The future of San Francisco is on the line, and now is the time to stand up and be heard.

We are estimating that we will have between 1000 - 2000 people participating in this march, making it one of the largest poverty focussed marches in San Francisco in recent years. Please join us. Stand with
leaders and organizers from the homeless and low-wage tenant communities.

Now is the time to stand together as a community and fight back.
