Mass March & Rally: The 40th anniversary of the 1966 Hunters Point Uprising

by , 2006-09-25

On Sept. 27, 1966, Matthew Johnson, 16, was fatally shot in the back by SFPD, and the people rose up in rage -- only to be put down by National Guard troops and tanks called in by City Hall. On Sept. 27, 2006, we demand that City Hall reinstate our referendum petition signed by over 33,000 San Franciscans to stop the Redevelopment land grab and 'repeopling' of Bayview Hunters Point. For 40 years, we've demanded:
No more police brutality, Living wage jobs, especially on City construction, and the right to develop our own community. Don't let City Hall shoot us in the back again! Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2006, gather at 3:30 pm at Third St. & Williams. March to Rally at Third & Palou. Tell City Hall Hands off Hunters Point! We shall not be moved! Sponsored by Defend Bayview Hunters Point Coalition: San Francisco Bay View National Black Newspaper, POWER, ACORN, Environmental Justice Advocacy & many more.
