Don’t let yourselves be evicted. All across the US people are taking their financial destinies back from the banks and corporations that sought to possess them. There’s a lot more involved in the concept of ownership of a building than meets the eye. Just because a building owner says shut your mouth and pay, doesn’t mean you have to meekly give in. There is a social contract involved, and the owners of this and other buildings are breeching that contract. We have struggled to create the community of the Chelsea Hotel and we own a piece of this building too and have a say in what goes on here. Join a growing nationwide civil disobedience campaign which will kick off on Thursday in New York and other cities. You won’t be the only ones chaining yourselves to your radiators, and Police are becoming more and more hesitant to evict someone for conditions caused by the excessive greed of the rich property owners. Also, as part of the campaign, if you are being evicted, a network of people will show up at your door to create a barricade and help prevent the eviction. — Ed Hamilton

As far as I’m concerned, the laid back atmosphere cultivated by Stanley Bard and his Family was factored in the cost of rent and amenities when I negotiated my lease.
When Marlene and David Elder threw the Bards out, they busted up the lease. Now they’re in breach of contract. The only appropriate remedy would be to Bring Back the Bards.LikeLike

Sounds good. The Chelsea is much more than a building, and residents have been getting much less since the two little heirs took over.

Ed –
Great post. Count me in!
But not sure I understand the graphic. Are you suggesting we drink a lot of tequila before joining the Revolution?
If so, Count me in!LikeLike
