Zoom details at the end of this post.
The United Front Against Displacement will present a film screening and discussion.
Located in an area where legendary struggles over housing have taken place, we'll screen segments from Clayton Patterson's film Captured about the Tompkins Square Park Police Riot, the 1988 attack by the NYPD on people resisting curfews and other restrictions placed on the park, measures that have continued and expanded to the present day. Afterwards, we will discuss efforts to link up New Yorkers protesting similar state-sponsored evictions from homes or public spaces.
The United Front Against Displacement-NYC, a new group which formed at the recent occupation of City Hall Park, seeks to unite the homeless, tenants, and all those sympathetic in struggle. New Yorkers face record homelessness and the threat of mass evictions. UFAD's mission is to bring together New Yorkers to educate and aid each other as we fight against displacement, gentrification, and criminalization.Hosted by Le Petit Versailles Community Garden and Allied Productions, Inc.
