To CPC Members and others who are interested:

We urge everyone to come out this Saturday and join the march against
displacement and for affordable housing and legal services to defend
tenants who are being driven out by landlords and developers.

The march will start at 11:00AM at 3333 Broadway (135th Street and
Broadway).

The Coalition to Preserve Community has joined other groups under the
umbrella group Project Remain/Nos Quedamos. This effort has been
coordinated by Assemblyman Adrian Espaillat.

Present at a press conference today was a diverse group including
tenants from Pinnacle, those facing eviction from Columbia's expansion plan,
other tenant associations facing buyouts and harassment, and lots of community
groups, community board members, lawyers from legal aid, elected officials or
their representatives, the board chairs of CB 9M and CB 10M, CB 12M and many others.

Assm. Espaillat and our Nos Quedamos/Project Remain campaign have
worked hard to coordinate this six month effort of meetings, tenant rights
advocacy, and gathering of testimony and this march on Saturday is the culmination
of that effort.

Whether you have participated before, or will just be coming for the
first time, we need everyone to come out. If you can't walk too far, there
are buses.

If you just want to walk a little of the march, that's OK too. We just
need you all out there and hope you can come and help defend our
neighborhoods, help preserve the community.

All out, Nos Quedamos, We Will Remain. (espanol abajo)

There will also be a feeder march gathering at 9AM at Marcus
Garvey Park which will proceed to 135th and Broadway. For info on that, call
Nellie Bailey at 212 234-5005).
