Date/Time: 
Tue, 10/16 - 5:00pm to 6:30pm

WHERE: Washington Square Park and Marching to Rochester City Hall
WHEN: Tuesday, October 16th, 5pm

With hundreds of people homeless every night, in a city that has enough vacant properties to house them all, we know that our communities are in crisis! When thousands of homes have been foreclosed upon by massive banks in our city, we know that housing must be a human right.

Adequate access to housing is the cornerstone on which we build a thriving and vibrant community. At Metro Justice, we’ve taken that seriously and our Housing is a Human Right Campaign is growing. Our campaign makes two requests of the city that we intend to make very clear at our march on October 16th:

1. As a consequence of their awful foreclosure record across New York State and nationally, the City of Rochester should divest all public funds from JP Morgan Chase.2. Due to the widespread fraud in mortgage foreclosures by big banks, the City of Rochester should halt police participation in evictions by those banks for one year.

Co-Sponsors Include:

Band of Rebels, Citizen Action of New York, Coalition for Justice in Education, Green Party of Monroe County, International Socialist Organization – Rochester, National Organization of Women – Greater Rochester Chapter, Rochester Against War, Rochester Red & Black, Social Welfare Action Alliance – Rochester, Students for a Democratic Society – University of Rochester, Take Back the Land – Rochester, Working Families Party, Worker Justice Center of New York, Worker Justice Group

Account Creation Policy Change

Rochester Indymedia is now requiring editor approval for account creation.

We came to this decision after we had repeated spam posted to our website that caused difficulty with the website's functioning.  We will still have open publishing and keep our site as nonrestrictive and accessible as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.  As before, we will continue to be Rochester's grassroots news and education site.  Thank you for your continued support and remember, "Don't hate the media, be the media!"

Editorial Meeting Times / Locations

The Rochester Independent Media Center (R-IMC) is no longer meeting regularly.
We will set up meetings by necessity and appointment. Please contact us at rochesterindymedia@rocus.org.
Our home is still the Flying Squirrel Community Space at 285 Clarissa St. Occasionally, we hold meetings at RCTV located at 21 Gorham Street.
