Teaching for Change Continues its Support, While Empower DC Steps in to Assist Organizers
Bruce-Monroe Elementary School on Georgia Avenue, NW is the latest target of the Fenty Administration’s method for flipping DC communities under the guise of “economic development:”
Step 1: make a promise to the community
Step 2:remove the people, demolish the site
Step 3:wait for people to move away and move on
Step 4:give the site to a favored developer for private development.

Empower DC Holds Public Housing “Privatization” Forum
Empower D.C., a grassroots organization, will hold a Community Forum to discuss the Threat or Opportunity of the Obama Administration’s proposal to reform public housing through PETRA,(Preservation, Enhancement, and Transforming Rental Assistance Act).
PETRA would allow, among other major changes, private ownership of public housing, including the borrowing of money from private banks and other investors for repairs and maintenance.
The Community Forum, also called an Empowerment Circle, will be held:
Wednesday, July 28, 2010 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Southwest Library, located at 900 Wesley Place, SW, Washington, DC. (Near “Eye” and 6th Streets,SW).

NEXT STEP TO SAVE PUBLIC PROPERTY:
Pass Legislation on the District Facilities Plan!
The District Facilities Plan is a planning document long required by DC’s Comprehensive Plan, yet never completed by the city government. The plan is needed to identify the facilities needs of DC government agencies – and to ensure the fair and equitable placement of services needed by our communities!
Due to the demands of the People’s Property Campaign, Councilwoman Cheh has introduced legislation on the District Facilities Plan and is holding a hearing January 14th. We need your help! Turn out, testify or submit a written statement in support of passage of the bill *with key changes* that are needed to strengthen it.
