(323) 732-9961, ext. >204 "We Shall Not Be Moved" Project, c/o SAJE, 2636 Kenwood Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90007

Nowhere are gentrification issues more sharply drawn and contested than in the Figueroa Corridor of Los Angeles, where some of the richest investors in the world are planning to develop a "Sports and Entertainment Corridor" through the City s poorest neighborhoods. Three Los Angeles community organizations -- Strategic Actions for a Just Economy (SAJE), the Centerfor the Study of Political Graphics (CSPG), and Self-Help Graphics and Art (SHG) -- are joining forces to challenge gentrification in this community through the We Shall Not Be Moved Project.

CALL FOR ARTISTS

The We Shall Not Be Moved Project:

Posters, Gentrification, and Resistance in the Figueroa Corridor

working class people are increasingly pushed out of their neighborhoods by
demolitions and rising rents. This process, commonly known as
>"gentrification," is being met with resistance from the grassroots
>community, including cultural workers. Around the country and the world,
>this resistance has been chronicled in poster art.
