I was just wondering if there are any other actions in the Figueroa Corridor working against the gentrification of this neighborhood besides artists? I'm really interested in this.

thanks,
N.

i think SAJE is addressing gentrification and working actively to stop it-- www.saje.net or better, http://www.saje.net/figcor/figcor.htm

also, they'd know about other groups too, i guess.

Yes, SAJE is working to fight the current crisis of displacement and gentrification in the Figueroa Corridor through the Figueroa Corridor Coalition for Economic Justice. SAJE is the sponsor and home of the Coalition, which is comprised of 30 economic justice, labor, religous, and student groups as well as over 300 local residents. We have currently launched "Better Neighborhoods, Same Neighborhoods," an anti-displacement/anti-gentrification Campaign - please contact organizer Tafarai Bayne at tafarai@saje.net for more information.

More information on the We Shall Not Be Moved Poster project:

Artist applications should include cover letter (including your background as an artist, your interest in the project, and anything else you think we should know about you), resume, and 6-10 slides or photographs of original artwork by Tuesday, May 28, 2002. Photographs must be 3 x 5 or larger and may also be submitted on disk.
Please send application to "We Shall Not Be Moved" Project, c/o SAJE, 2636 Kenwood Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90007.

Artists must be available to meet with residents and members of the Figueroa Corridor Coalition for Economic Justice at a series of poster exhibitions, anti-gentrification and printmaking workshops on June 15, June 23, October 12-13, 2002, and additional times to be determined. Artists must be available every day for one week (5 days) between July 9 – August 16, 2002 for training at Self Help Graphics. We are looking for artists from a wide range of mediums (graffiti, paint, graphic design) and a background in art for social movements is preferred.
