Join us as contingents of the Affordable Housing Movement from Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and other US cities celebrate the one year anniversary of the Obama Administration.

United together we represent the change the Obama Administration needs to take action on. We can no longer be separated by geography, language, income levels, skin color, sex, age or immigration status and idly watch as our communities are torn apart by neglect, greed and gentrification.

NoChoice!                                                                                                                                         During the days before the Voting Rights Act in 1965, a group of civil rights leaders met with President Lyndon B. Johnson to ask for his support.  Even though the bill was met with fierce opposition, they argued that the country had a moral obligation to pass it. LBJ agreed, and then said: Make me do it.  Go organize your communities, so that I have NO CHOICE but to do what’s right.  Our President supports our agenda but needs us to make it a reality. On January 20th, 2010 – he will hear our demands clearly and loudly. The Obama Administration will have NO CHOICE but to do what’s right!

 The Untold Story – It’s a crime to be poor in the US  Poor and homeless people are being harassed out of their communities, squeezed out of society, and herded into jails. We will talk about the unprecedented neglect in L.A., the outrageous greed in Portland, and the lack of real affordable housing in San Francisco and Oakland.  We will talk about a universal pattern of oppression from anti-homeless loitering laws to San Francisco’s sleeping laws to immigration checks at health programs and public schools to arrest histories in Public Housing.

January 20, 2010 will mark the one-year anniversary of the Obama administration. We have held onto Hope for a year and are way past ready for the Change that was promised to us.  On that day, with the immense power and energy of our grassroots community - thousands will stand side by side, and with sheer determination and we will be the catalyst to create a better world for our brothers and sisters. We will, as a nation, move to insure that they have an affordable place to call HOME and the Civil Rights that protect them.
