Homeless people and community allies took over a vacant building in El Barrio/East Harlem earlier today. The target was a beautiful two-story building at the corner of Madison Avenue and 116th that has been vacant for decades. For those of you who weren't able to attend today's action activist organization Picture the Homeless is holding a SLEEP-OUT celebration outside the building, Friday, March 20! Bring poems and songs for a community cultural event; bring food and blankets and sleeping bags for yourself and to share with everyone else. (Source: Picture the Homeless blog)

Sounds like a great event!!! Marlene and David, I’m sure, can think of a couple (hundred) tenants they’d like to relocate to El Barrio.

Ghetoolicious if things don’t improve for Marlene pretty soon it might be her, not us, thats camping in breadlines. She’s had a run of bad luck that can only be described as Biblical in proportions. Karma Police are putting a hurting on her.
