Cooper Square Committee having a rally for affordable housing and they are true NYC heroes -- amazing work and achievements

Rally for long-promised affordable housing in the Lower East Side!

Sunday, November 15th - 1PM
Delancey St & Suffolk St, Manhattan (Lower East Side)

By Subway: F to Delancey St; J to Essex St

1,850 homes were demolished in 1967 as part of the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area - with the promise that new affordable housing would be built on these enormous tracts of land in the heart of the Lower East Side. After thousands were displaced, the affordable housing was never built.

42 YEARS HAVE PASSED, AND WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING!

On the site where thousands once lived in a vibrant community - there are five enormous open-air parking lots. These sites could be used for 2,000 units of affordable housing for low-income New Yorkers and community facilities for the neighborhood, while the construction of the site and affordable commercial spaces built in them could provide much needed living-wage jobs.

Please join us for a rally to demand justice for the Lower East Side. 42 years is more than enough! Affordable housing NOW!
