When They Come For You in the Morning...Creating a Left Response to Local Attacks on Homeless People
Monday, November 19th, 2007
Center for Political Education; Location TBA
politicaleducation.org
6:30-9:00 PM
As radicals united against classism and racism we have an obligation to develop an analysis of homelessness and to stand in solidarity with people experiencing one of the clearest manifestations of capitalism today.
In the context of the San Francisco Chronicle's CW Nevius' unrelenting attack on homeless people and Newsom's anti-homeless agenda of criminalization and dehumanization, this panel and discussion will examine the current local political reality of homelessness. It will not be an overview of the experience of homelessness, but a long overdue conversation about a united left response in support and alliance with homeless people.
Panelists include: Laura Guzman (Mission Neighborhood Resource Center); Paul Boden (Coalition on Homelessness & the Western Regional Advocacy Project); Chris Daly (District 6 Supervisor); and an invited member of POWER
