Yea, I know the title is kinda queso, pero tu sabes I'm trying over here. Check out following great news from the compas at POWER...
"...the Stop Lennar Action Movement (SLAM) together with hundreds of volunteers, activists, organizers, low-income folks, students and student organizations across San Francisco made herstory when we collected approximately 11,800 signatures in less than 11 days.
Through the wind, rain, and cold, we came together in a completely grassroots movement to say no to predatory development and yes to development that serves the needs of San Francisco. We braved office break-ins, disbelief, and much more. We united around an issue that affects an incredible number of people across the City. We put action behind the assertion that communities of color in San Francisco must unite in order to assure and achieve our survival. And most of all, we proved that the will of the people is greater than the money, power, and influence of multi-billion dollar corporations.
Although we’re claiming the victory today, the fight is still FAR from over. We’ve already seen the extent to which Lennar is invested in making sure that their $1.4 billion development project moves forward, unhindered. To date, they’ve spent more than $650,000 on high profile political consultants, and we’re sure they won’t stop there. We’re more energized than ever to gather our forces to oppose Lennar’s stadium initiative, and to make sure that any development that happens on Candlestick Point be held to the highest standards of affordable housing allocation and public housing rebuilding, with no displacement"
