Section 8 is also a subsidy for landlords in low income areas. See the explanation of how this developed on the website referred to later. As part of the general offensive against working people worldwide, the US corporations and their city, state and federal governments are trying to eradicate Section 8. This is the story of how tenants and activists got together and defeated one of these attacks. ... read full story / add a comment

Last Saturday afternoon (14/8/04), up to 15 gardai descended on a lone Traveller family, whose trailer was parked just off the South Link Road in Cork City. When the gardai threatened to have the trailer towed away, the mother locked herself into it to prevent it being moved.

At this stage, the woman, who is receiving medical attention for depression, took a bread knife and attempted to cut her wrists. Fortunately, the knife was quite blunt and did little damage ... read full story / add a comment

A multi-agency task force shut down a NYC Indymedia video team benefit late Saturday night, sparking complaints that the action was politically motivated. "I don't think every single department showing up here was a coincidence," said Brandon Jourdan, a video team organizer. "But maybe it was or maybe it was not. People will have to decide for themselves."
