If you order from an indie artist in the US, THIS is the bullshit we are currently dealing with. Your package may come late, or may need to be resent. But we are doing our best, please understand we’re dealing with things out of our control right now.
With the pandemic and economic crisis continuing unchecked, more than
50,000 New Yorkers face eviction when housing court reopens. Even more
of us are struggling to afford food, medicine, and other necessities
while being burdened with New York’s insane rents.
Unfortunately when eviction cases make it to court, the laws in place
favor landlords over families and individuals. City marshals and police
will try to forcibly remove people staying in their homes past a court
mandated eviction.
We can work together to help people stay in their homes! In New York,
coordinated resistance has lead to success. During the Great
Depression, tenants in New York undertook massive rent strikes, and
fought back against evictions using a range of creative and
confrontational tactics. These renters were able to stay in their homes.
In the Lower East Side, tenants fixed up buildings and resisted
eviction for almost two decades!
With a solid plan and organization we can stay in our homes, and help others stay in theirs as well.
There are two ways you can help build the eviction defense network.
First, if you or someone you know can’t pay rent and fear eviction,
we will help you set up an eviction defense group so that we can
collectively pressure your landlord to do the right thing (description
below). If you are interested in organizing a local eviction defense
group or tenants union in your building or block, please get in touch
with us. We have experienced tenant organizers who will help you through
the process, and we would love to work with you. Reach out to us here: revolutionaryabolitionistmovement@protonmail.com
Second, you can join our city-wide eviction defense rapid response
call list. We have to be ready to resist the landlords and courts when
they inevitably lash out against tenants. You don’t need experience to
participate. You simply have to be willing to fight for the right of you
and your neighbors to stay in your homes. We will provide training on
eviction defense based on practices that have been successful. By
joining the city-wide eviction defense call list, you will be on call in
case someone in your area faces harassment by their landlord or
imminent eviction. Sign up here.
We would love to work with tenants or tenants union who share this
vision. Please reach out to us if you would like assistance from this
network!
ted wheeler had the cops gas protestors for a long ass time, he only went out for a 30 minute stint in the protests as a political stunt (some of the protest chants in portland are very anti-wheeler) and as soon as he tasted the Spicy Gas, he ran home.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
