Eviction Blockade at Cabrini Green Tuesday! WE NEED SUPPORT!

Friends: Please spread the word far and wide. We are kicking off the Chicago Anti-Eviction Campaing this Tuesday with an eviction blockade to stop Lenise Forrest and her family from being evicted from Cabrini Green for owing back rent. She had a payment plan under previous management but the new management has refused to recognize it and is trying to put her out on the street. She is appealing the eviction but the Sheriff is still scheduled to evict her Tuesday morning.

Meanwhile they attempted unsuccessfully to pursue their goals through their other “partner,” the Democratic Party.
