Working People of New York:

HURT BY 911?

• Robbed the poor and helped the rich
  
• Ignored the livelihood of low-income communities
  
• Lied to the public and allowed toxic air to hurt us
  
• Denied assistance to victims who live or work north of Canal
  
• Refused demands raised by the community at a town hall meeting

WE'VE HAD ENOUGH!

• The government and the Red Cross must expand the range and scope of existing relief efforts and set up a new relief program to provide living expenses to those who have suffered loss of health or income, including those who live and work North of Canal Street who are affected by the disaster.
• The government must provide reparations for its cover-up of the toxic air. Aside from monetary compensation and immediately cleaning up the environment, the government must establish a medical institution to specialize in studying the effects of toxic air on people and to provide appropriate medical care.
• The government must create a law to protect low-income housing and garment manufacturing in our community. The government must make Chinatown a special zone to preserve industrial buildings and factories.
• The government must change the Family Health Plus program and raise the income eligibility level, allowing all people who work in New York to enjoy medical health coverage.
• FEMA must change their wrong policy and procedures for the Mortgage and Rental Assistance (MRA) program to address the needs of all of us who are affected by 9/11.

DEMONSTRATE!
