News Advisory
Tenants to Send Valentine’s Message to Congress:
“Have a Heart: Tax the 1%, Cut Pentagon Pork, Save Our
Homes!”
Who: Tenant leaders representing millions of low income
families, elderly and disabled people who will be made homeless by proposed
federal budget cuts, and peace, labor and community allies
What: Participants will demand that Congress reject extremist proposals
to tie the debt limit to deficit reduction and instead close corporate tax
loopholes, tax the 1%, and redirect Pentagon spending to invest in jobs, to
prevent any cuts to vital social programs
Where: 15 cities in 10 states, including Boston and Springfield, MA;
Chattanooga, TN; Beaumont, Dallas and San Antonio, TX; San Jose and Sacramento,
CA; Sanford, FL; Raleigh, NC; and Seattle, WA
When: Valentines’s Day, Thursday, February 14, 2013, following
President Obama’s State of the Union budget proposals and the same day as a
Senate hearing on “sequestration,” where HUD Secretary Shaun
Donovan will be testifying on HUD rental housing cuts
