Why
Join public housing tenants, housing activists, resident group activists in celebrating a reprieve for eviction and demolition of the South Eveleigh public housing estate.
We have won a significant reprieve at the inner city public housing public housing estate Explorer Street South Eveleigh. Five years ago the tenants at Explorer Street South Eveleigh were told they were to be evicted and their homes demolished.
A determined Save Explorer Street campaign erupted and tenants were told three weeks ago the ALP state government won't evict them as planned and their homes are safe for now.
Join us for some toasts, a celebration cake and a toast to the tenacity of the tenants, resident groups and political parties and activists who resisted the eviction and demolition push.
10am meet us in the green space at Explorer street then gather at the front of the house lead tenant Sarina Afa for toasts and speeches.

We are in a housing crisis because governments are giving developers land and tax breaks.
Cheap apartments in Warren Road Marrickville are being demolished so their landlord can build an expensive apartment block and make exorbitant profits.
Tenants in Ewart St, Marrickville will be evicted in January because their landlord wants to turn the block of apartments into short term holiday stays (Airbnb).
Both sites are within the Inner West and the Council just passed a so-called "Fairer Futures" which is a proposal to build 33,000 mostly private, expensive apartments. With only 2% "affordable" housing. Affordable housing is 80% of market rent so not affordable.
We rally to demand the landlords back off from eviction plans.
We call on the Inner West Council to deliver on their so-called "affordable" and pro-young people housing promises and resist the eviction with the tenants.
We call on the state government to intervene and build housing for people, not profit and guarantee young renters genuine housing security.
