Winter 2015
displacement has shot up in the Lower East Side and Chinatown. The height restrictions in the East Village drove numerous high-rise luxury condos and hotels into our unprotected
neighborhood. Property values and real estate taxes have
skyrocketed, giving more incentive to developers to displace
thousands of low-income residents and small businesses, and
for the City to find more ways to displace public housing residents.
Enough is Enough. We call on all New Yorkers to fight against the racism in our city. Lets rally together
to demand that de Blasio stop destroying our City. We demand that Mayor de Blasio adopt community
rezoning plans like the Chinatown Working Group plan. If he tries to ram through his rezoning plans
to displace us, we must displace him. Lets rally together at Gracie Mansion on December 16th, and
continue weekly pickets there, to show de Blasio that New York is not for sale!
NMASS and the Chinese Staff & Workers Association demanded that the CWG
plan not just for Chinatown but also
for the LES. When CWG agreed to this,
NMASS and others joined. Elected officials such as Silver, Chin and their followers spread misinformation to divide
the community. They said things like the
CWG rezoning was only to protect Chinese, and that Chinese would be favored
for NYCHA apartments. NYCHA tenant
associations got money from these elected officials to spread such lies.
We must see through this racist ploy to
keep all of us low-income people fighting
among ourselves, while the government
and the rich get away with using our tax
monies for luxury development and the
displacement of us all. We must unite
and fight against this racism.

The only difference between de Blasios infill plan and Bloombergs is that it
would require 50% affordable housing, as
opposed to 20%. However, for a family of
four to qualify, their household income
would have to be around $51,780- which
is almost twice as the median household
income of your typical NYCHA family
($23,300).
As a college student
thats graduating in two
years, where am I going
to go? I dont want to be
dorming all my life. If we
can get this community
rezoning plan, it would
take worries off of my parents. Theyre
concerned about where their daughter
will live, and they could have options
if apartments were affordable, so they
wouldnt be forced out.
As young people, we should be
fighting for our futurewhere were
going to live, how were going to eat? If
you let it be, you have to fight for your
rights later on.

Invierno 2015

lage en el 2008, el desplazamiento ha aumentado vertiginosamente en Loisaida y el Barrio Chino. Las restricciones de
altura en el East Village empujaron la construccin de numerosos condominios de lujo y hoteles hacia nuestra comunidad
desprotegida.
El valor de la propiedad e impuestos de bienes races han subido
enormemente, dndole ms razones
a los desarolladores para desplazar
a miles de residentes de bajo ingreso y a los pequeos negocios y a la
Ciudad para encontrar ms maneras de desplazar a residentes de bajo
ingreso.
El impacto a la vivienda
pblica
plan alternativo en East New York, Brooklyn y est preparando hacer lo mismo en
la Avenida Jerome en el sur del Bronx y en
Flushing, Queens. En noviembre, 49 de los
59 de las Juntas Communitarias de la ciudad
rechazaron la aprobacin del propio plan de
rezonificacin de Bill de Blasio, an as el Alcalde respondi diciendo que sus opiniones
no cuentan.
YA BASTA !!! Le hacemos un llamado a todos los Neoyorquinos para luchar en contra del racismo. Demandamos que el
alcalde De Blasio pare de destruir a nuestra ciudad. Exigimos que adopte los planes de rezonificacin de la comunidad,
como el plan del Grupo de Planificacin del Barrio Chino. En cambio, si l quiere desplazarnos con sus proyectos de
rezonificacin, vamos a desplazarlo a l. Vayamos juntos a la Mansin del Alcalde el 16 de diciembre para protestar, y
continuemos con piquetes semanales all para mostrarle a De Blasio que Nueva York NO EST EN VENTA !!!
Despus de que
miles de personas de Loisaida
y el Barrio chino
protestaron contra el racismo del
plan de rezonificacin del East Village, el gobierno de la Ciudad estableci el Grupo de Planificacin del Barrio Chino (CWG) para planear
el desarrollo en el Barrio Chino.
