Fighting Gentrification, Fighting for Dignity

TAKE ACTION TODAY!! Stop HUD from eliminating mixed status families from getting housing subsidies. Immigrants make our country great and deserve public housing and section 8 vouchers to live and, many times, raise US born children. HUD should be for keeping families housed and together!!! Make your public comment today!
Last week POP, along with Historic Westside Association, Coalition for Tenant Justice and Texas Organizing Project, attended an Opportunity Home board meeting to speak out against RAD conversion and 40 proposed changes to the Move to Work Plan. Oppurtuniy Home voted yes to both. Another example of our public goods being broken down and privitized. There is still time to organize against it! We still hold our demands and will continue to organize around them:
PUBLIC HOUSING MUST STAY PUBLIC. Thousands of families remain on the public housing waiting lists, more than half of San Antonio residents are cost burdened by rent and thousands of people are unhoused. We need 100% Public Housing complexes. Not mixed income complexes, not 10% or 40% of units, not deeply affordable. 100% public housing now!
IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF 4 EXPIRED TRUSTEE SEATS. Tenants of public housing deserve democratic participation in their house authority!
ABILITY TO VOTE ON INDIVIDUAL PROPOSALS.
Again, democratic participation. Tenants need proper information in a timely manner and the ability to impose changes that benefit them!
GENUINE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. Pueblo Over Profits has door knocked hundreds of doors at multiple public housing complexes and little to no residents new of these proposed changes, what RAD is or even about the board meeting where the changes would be discussed.
TRANSPARENCY. Speak about RAD truthfully! No lies or boasting frivolous amenities. Show all of the consequences of the conversion, the fees, the vacancies and the displacement!
ELIMINATE CHIEF OF STAFF POSITION. The board of trustees will point to lack of funds as the reason why maintenance is so dangerously backlogged and that RAD will fix these issues. But despite the attacks on funding, they have $150k/yr to spare for a NEW chief of staff position.
Organize against the privitization of our public and basic needs and join us now!

We LOVE public housing and you should too!🫵🏽 Join Pueblo Over Profit in our “ I love Public Housing” Campaign.
Pueblo Over Profits knows that housing IS a human right and should be decommodified, dignified and guaranteed. We’ll be door knocking neighborhoods to alert our community about the attacks on public housing, why we should protect this PUBLIC GOOD, fight back the classist stigma around public housing and expand it because it’s the best option (under this current system) for ALL working people!
Stay tuned for more info on block walking on ways you can help!
Benefits of public housing
- Income based. Rent is based on the person income even if it changes!
- Capped at 30% of a person income.
- More tenant protections than market housing.
- Public housing is PERMANENT. Once built for the purpose of public housing, it cannot be used for anything else unless completely destroyed.
- Makes ALL housing in the housing market more affordable through competitive pricing.

Public money for Public Good= No Project Marvel Sign Up to Speak & Connect with your councilperson.
Support the delay Item 4
Against continuation of negotiations item 5
Mayor is not against project Marvel - she just wants more time and a longer analysis...this does not make report valid and does not stand with community who is clearly stating NO TO PROJECT MARVEL.

Public money for public good, not an entertainment district no one needs!!
These sports district deals are a public money sink with research showing stadiums deals and entertainment districts not yielding the amount of return promised or expected.
This project has so many unknowns and assumed numbers...Since it's public money developers don't feel the gravity of this risk, but the people always do because we are the ones that end up footing the bill! Our so called “elected leaders” should feel this gravity too! Scrap the whole thing and start by using the data that already exists of the needs we currently have . Use our public money to build social housing and expand public housing in San Antonio. Raise our wages and meet our basic needs!!!

Marvel es mi**da!!! Come out and speak out against our city to continue focusing on this project and making plans with our public dollars for the profits of the rich. Say no to a sports and entertainment district!!
