In the US there is a form of subsided housing known as Section 8 where vouchers are given to people on low incomes to help pay their rent. 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.
