THE PEOPLE's REPO / September 21-24, 2001

The People's Repo is about people taking back what they need. A primary focus of the weekend will be on urban squatting; illustrating the correlation between gentrification, the stockpiles of abandoned buildings in many US cities, and increasing homelessness. Other focus ideas include: land struggles around the world, the role of the WB/IMF and WTO in global corporate control, the growing prison industrial complex, the criminalization of poverty and homelessness, rent strikes, and tenant rights issues.

All who wish to organize and plan for the People's Repo are invited to the first planning meeting on Saturday, May 12 at 2:30 pm at the Martin Luther King Jr. Library, Room A-5 at 9th and G St. NW in Washington, DC. If you need housing for that weekend, or want more information, please contact squat-conf@homesnotjails.org or 202-737-6444 #24.

Also, please email or call if you are interested in sponsoring The People's Repo, sharing skills, presenting workshops and/or organizing in your area for the event.
