Tomorrow, Monday the 8th, join the folks from 123 in a march from our doorstep to the offices of Councilmember Al Vann, to demand that he step in and tell our landlord that he will not let us be evicted. Vann is the city representative for our district and has a very progressive record, voting for items such as a moratorium on the death penalty and, more pertinently, doubling the fines for landlords who fail to provide certain services.
While it is difficult to look past his stance on the great metal bats intrigue of ’07, we are willing to believe that he will do what’s right and step in. For those who might look at our appealing to an elected official as capitulation, we reply that we’re using a diversity of tactics. In no way are we resting on our laurels, hoping and praying that some higher-up will take care of this. We will be on the streets doing everything we need to in order to keep this space.
So to that end, we expect to see everyone who supports 123 Monday at 3pm sharp in front of the space. The march will be rowdy and (of course) unpermitted, but there will be alot of kids present so nothing too crazy. See you all tomorrow!
