Hands Off Iberville, Bus Transfers on Canal St., and Kawana Jasper!

The local and national 1% are stepping up their racist, capitalist offensive in New Orleans. Not content with having demolished four public housing developments and 5,000 little damaged and badly needed apartments (in addition to destroying public schools and Charity Hospital), the real estate vultures (Kabacoff, Baron, and others) and their state agents (Gilmore, Landrieu, Obama and others) are trying get their hands on the Iberville public housing community. But they don’t stop there! To further the class and ethnic cleansing of the city, the Downtown Development District, an arm of the real estate industry, is trying to remove bus transfers from Canal St. This is a thinly veiled attempt to drive out, in particular, working class African Americans from the area. On the top that the 1 %’s enforcers, the NOPD, are stepping up murders of local workers, such as Justin Sipp, who cops murdered as he was driving to his job. They are also unleashing more repression against fighters like activist Kawana Jasper, a tireless defender of public housing and oppressed people, who is now facing fabricated charges. Come out Saturday March 24 to denounce the 1%’s agenda of more misery and repression, and to fight for our own, one that calls for a mass, direct-government-employment public works program at union wages, open for all, to rebuild public services from housing to education to health care. All out!
