Mobile Home residents addressed state legislators
Vecinos Unidos in Tallahassee, April 1 & 2 2009
Vecinos Unidos is currently working on two fronts: Mobile Home Council and Residents Committee.
The Mobile Home Council, the first in the state, with more than 120 members from 15 mobile homes parks has been active since July 2007.
We are confident that in building Vecinos Unidos we are developing a model for community and labor action.
As the SFJwJ coalition moves forward with the Marlins stadium (Public Good from Public Money campaign) Vecinos Unidos members and union members can work together in this fight for social justice.
Vecinos Unidos Mobile Home CouncilOver 300 Vecinos Unidos members from Blue Lakes Mobile Home Park, facing imminent eviction from their homes in October 2006, held protests, organized delegations to county commissioners and county officials, Governor Crist and state representatives in Tallahassee. Their relentless and organized struggle brought a dignified resolution for this community that otherwise would have been displaced without any respect or compensation. |
