TONIGHT: HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT CAMPAIGN LAUNCH #ROCHESTER #METROJUSTICE
Join Metro Justice to FIGHT for Housing as a HUMAN RIGHT in our city!
Every person has a right to adequate housing. But right now, in Rochester, there are 500 to1000 homeless people on any given night in our city, while 2,800 homes sit empty. And after receiving billions of dollars in taxpayer bailouts, banks continue to make more of our neighbors homeless, with the support of our city officials and resources. At the same time, programs to assist struggling and homeless families are being cut.
It’s time to fight back! It’s time to build a movement to fight for our right to have homes for our children, our neighbors, and ourselves. It’s time to fight foreclosures and evictions, to build community control of land and housing, and to force our city to see that protecting the RIGHT TO A HOME IS A PRIORITY.
This year has seen people all over the country insisting that the rights of 99% of hardworking people should not be sacrificed for the profits the wealthiest 1%. The FIGHT for HOUSING JUSTICE is embedded within that struggle, and within Metro Justice’s Vision for Economic Justice.
THIS IS OUR MOMENT IN HISTORY, AND THIS IS OUR FIGHT!
