                    Rally to Save DTES Hotel!
                      Fri Sept 29th @ 11am
                          928 Main St.
              (2 blocks North of Main St. Sky Train)

The Save Low Income Housing Coalition calls on all supporters to attend a
rally that has been organized to save the American Hotel.

Tenants of the hotel have received illegal eviction notices and are to be
forced out by Saturday. Although the city acknowledges that the evictions
are illegal they refuse to do anything about it.

We hope that a show of public support will force the city into action. In
fact mobilizations of activist and tenants have been the only thing so far
that has succeeded in keeping the Olympic wrecking ball from tearing down
peoples homes.

Please come out and show your solidarity. Bring signs, banners, puppets
and anything else to let the city know that we demand HOMES NOT GAMES!

In solidarity,
The Save Low-Income Housing Coalition Organizing Committee
