- Harbor Island Apartment Evictions
-
Harbor Island Apartments has suddenly evicted all of its tenants,
about 400 families. This crisis threatens the safety, security,
and livelihood of people who live there. Many don't know what they
can do, where they will go. Many have vowed to stand and fight.
- McKinley Park GiveAway
-
The Alameda Boys and Girls Club announced it was finalizing a deal to
takeover McKinley Park. George Phillips, the Executive Director, took
out a Use Permit for two 12 X 60 temporary buildings and the Club
announced its afterschool program would begin in McKinley in 2 weeks.
All this without a single public hearing. The neighborhood
organized against the takeover -- not to fight the Boys and Girls
Club -- but to protect public property from privatization. The bid to
occupy McKinley Park was stopped in the Recreation and Parks Commission
meeting on October 7, 2004 - for now.
