There is a definite stirring in the Land of the Working Class. But it
is critical that those rising up in disgust over the living conditions
being forced upon them, know deep down in their Beings that any change
in this nation's course will require involvement, full participation
on the part of each working man and woman. Letting others do it on
your behalf will simply be transferring our chains from one Master to
another.

Access to decent homes for everyone!

July 2017 Minn. HousingBy MARCO DAVILA
Below is the presentation by Marco Dávila to the meeting in defense of
public housing, on July 6 in the Glendale neighborhood of South East
Minneapolis. For more information about the campaign in the defense of
Glendale, visit the webpage: www.defendglendale.weebly.com .
I’m just here to say: It feels good to be on your side. It feels good to
be on the side of the most vulnerable. It feels good to be on the side
of those who fight against injustice, on the side of immigrants, on the
side of refugees and low-income people in general, on the side of those
who are oppressed by an inhumane machinery. It feels good to not be on
the side of the passive aggressive bullies, such as the executive
director of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA)—among many
other bullies of his kind.
As some of you know, the city of Minneapolis decided to bring this
individual on board as the head of the MPHA. Gregory Russ is nothing but
a passive aggressive bully. He is here in Minneapolis to confuse you, to
divide you, to try to fool those who are resisting displacement.
The Glendale residents and many other public housing residents in the
United States have made it very clear: As this economic system destroys
public housing at the expense of those who are most in need, we say: We
shall resist! As this economic system displaces low-income people for
the benefit of people of the privileged class, we say: We shall resist!
Those who are currently resisting against the privatization of their
homes are not resisting in the name of profit over people, they are
resisting in the name of basic human rights, they are resisting in the
name of justice. So, Mr. Executive Director of MPHA, please don’t come
talk to us about truth. Stop being a liar and a bully!
Today we say: An attack on public housing is an attack on human rights!
Access to decent homes for everyone!
We shall resist!
