DESCRIPTION:

Fight Racism and Classism from Jena Louisiana to
New Orleans Louisiana
All out for Thursday Mass meeting to respond to capitalist court’s Green light to demolition of Public Housing
On Monday September 17th, federal judge Ivan “the terrible” Lemelle, appointed by Bill “I demolished 100,00 units of Public Housing” Clinton, gave his seal of approval to the Bush administration’s criminal plan to demolish thousands of units of viable public housing apartments in New Orleans. This vile criminal act, which is also supported by the Nagin administration and city council, will prevent the former, mostly African American working class Public Housing families from returning to the city. Furthermore demolition--the removal of thousands of rent controlled apartments from the market-- will only intensify the affordable housing crisis that all working class people face.
We will not tolerate the railroading of six Africa American youth in Jena. Lets also stand strong against ethnic and class cleansing; against the railroading of thousands of African American, working class families out of New Orleans.
