15 Demands about Monroe Park from the Wingnut Anarchist Collective
Posted: January 21, 2011 in UncategorizedTags: Alice Massie, anarchists, checker house, city council, city of richmond, classism, conrad center, criminilization of homeless, Food Not Bombs, gentrification, gentrify monroe park, Monroe Park, monroe park campaign, Monroe Park Renovations, MPAC, privatized parks, public parks, racism, resist gentrification, richmond city council, richmond homeless, wingnut anarchist collective
Wingnut Statement On The Monroe Park Renovation Plan
The current renovation plans for Monroe Park are riddled with problems and are overall, entirely unacceptable.
Our demands regarding the park are as follows:
We oppose the renovation plans in their entirety, as they are racist, classist, and a thinly veiled attempt at privatizing and capitalizing on a public park.
- There needs to be an immediate cessation of all attempts from MPAC and the City of Richmond to criminalize the homeless.
- We demand the inclusion of homeless people in all decisions relating to homelessness, housing, free food programs, etc. We demand that the homeless be given roles with the power to make decisions about their own futures in whatever groups or organizations are making these decisions.
- We demand the cessation of the endless promotion of the Conrad Center as the solution to homelessness in Richmond. We demand the cessation of the attempts to centralize all programs that serve the homeless at the Conrad Center, which has aggressively pushed its agenda of misinformation for years now.
- We demand that there be NO paid park director, especially at the outrageous salary of 150,000 a year. (more…)
