WHERE: Sisters of the Road; Right 2 Dream Too
FACEBOOK RSVP HERE
Sisters of the Road’s 2014 Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Action celebration will be part of a West Coast wide weekend of action and resistance by the Western Regional Advocacy (WRAP) coalition. They will call attention to the discrimination against the poor and unhoused members in our cities, town and state. They will mobilize our community and partner organizations to pass a Homeless Bill Of Rights to protect the basic civil and human rights of poor and socially excluded communities.
The event will take place Friday, January 17th, 2014 at Sisters Of The Road Cafe, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM with food, music, theater and speeches from Sisters’ community, labor and grassroots organizations. At 03:00 PM, they will hold a demonstration from Right 2 Dream Too to City Hall to keep alive the dreams of Right 2 Dream Too moving to their new location.
The 2014 MLK Jr. event happens in the context of deepening of the economic, political and social crises resulting from over 30 years of privatization and cuts to social services that have literally pushed working people and their families to fend for themselves in our streets.
Many of the homeless’ advocates that camped in front of City Hall and the parks in order to protect their human and civil rights to housing and freedom to protest were evicted and arrested by the PPS. (including our very own Vigil Against the “Camping” Ban) Officials have said that the reason police were sent to disperse activity was due to ”lawlessness.” It’s in this political tide that we all need TO STAND UP and fight for the right to housing and civil liberties!
