On 19 December 2012, San Franciscans met at 18th and Castro to denounce the epidemic of evictions occurring in the Castro and Mission -- 4 buildings in the Castro and 17 in the Mission. Six of those buildings are being Ellis Acted; in the other, the tenant is facing an owner move-in. Many of the tenants are disabled, some with AIDS, others are seniors. Tenants were on hand to tell their stories. The Housing Rights Committee, the Tenants Union, Senior Disability Action and the Gray Panthers all supported the action.

We're sending a message to the people making profits off our evictions that we plan to fight to save our homes any way we have to.
