Deliver a Tenants Rights Platform
to the Presidential Campaigns!
With all the talk about saving Wall Street, who will save affordable housing?
At 11:00 AM on October 18, 2008 join tenant leaders from  Mass Alliance of HUD Tenants
    and allies across Boston to deliver a Save Our Homes Platform as one of several
actions     around the US for International Housing Rights Day.
Meet at Park Street Station at Tremont & Winter Streets, Boston at 11:00 AM.
The Housing Crisis isn't just a homeowner or bank industry problem.
THREE MILLION FAMILIES IN HUD SUBSIDIZED APARTMENTS FACE DISPLACEMENT
if Congress does not fully fund Section 8 and Public Housing.
Last week, the National Alliance of HUD Tenants (NAHT) averted funding cutoffs for
          Section 8 and won tenant protections in the Wall Street Bailout Bill.
But chronic budget shortfalls still threaten millions of families.
In June, the Obama Campaign met with NAHT and responded to the Platform, but the
       Republican National Committee refused to accept it and slammed the door on
tenants.
On October 18 we will try again at the McCain Headquarters in downtown Boston.
Join Us to MAKE TENANTS' VOICES HEARD in this election!
