March 8 Demo against Columbia University: Where are the jobs?

 

[this just in, from our friends at the Coalition to Preserve Community]

 

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY $6 BILLION DOLLAR EXPANSION IN HARLEM

FOR BLACKS & LATINOS: NO JOBS! NO HOMES!

 FOR SMALL BUSINESSES: GET OUT!

 

COLUMBIA PROMISED 7,000 JOBS

JOIN OUR PROTEST TO DEMAND THOSE JOBS!

 

Tuesday, March 8th    4:00---6:00 P.M.

PROTEST AT: COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY “EMPLOYMENT OFFICE”

Broadway just below 125 St., East side of the Street

 

President Bollinger: 

50% of Black Men in NYC are Jobless.

1,500 jobs are gone because of the expansion.

Columbia University continues its bullying & disrespect for the West Harlem community. The University relocated Floridita Restaurant to a building it owns that is full of ABESTOS.   FLORIDITA’S 40 JOBS ARE UNDER THREAT!

 

JOIN THE FIGHTBACK FOR JUSTICE & DIGNITY!

We Demand that Columbia give us numbers-- not "window dressing"!

Support Floridita's workers and its lawsuit against Columbia's eviction process!

 

 No biohazard #3 labs in residential Manhattan!

No Environmental Racism!  Justice for the victims of Eminent Domain Abuse!

                                  NO DISPLACEMENT - AND REAL EMPLOYMENT
