Come this Sunday 5/22 at 2pm to the Tiny Homes for Come this Sunday 5/22 at 2pm to the Tiny Homes for food, community, to celebrate Taura's graduation, and get an update on her fight!

Ms. Taura Brown is being EVICTED (and sued for defamation) for fighting Cass Community Social Services on: 

1) Charity fraud.
2) Exploiting the unhoused.
3) Racist silencing & displacement

She has been at this fight for over a year. Her next hearing is on Wednesday, June 1st @ 11:05am. This third hearing can be pivotal in stopping her eviction. We must be prepared for any outcome including a home defense. 

Come this Sunday 5/22 at 2pm for food, community, to celebrate Taura's graduation, and get an update on her fight against, poverty pimp, Fowler. 

We need more tenants and homeowners and people who are without housing organizing together to fight the slumlords and the racists and the cutthroat developers who work with the government and the courts to gentrify and displace and rob the people of Detroit. The fight is on, people are self organizing and we ask you to organize and join together and join with us in this fight.

THANK YOU to all who participating in this call campaign and any other actions we promote on this page. THANK YOU to all who speak up and join in our fight against housing injustice.

The courts don't provide justice, strong communities do.

Ray DeBates & Golden Management is evicting Lewis Ray DeBates & Golden Management is evicting Lewis Bass from his New Center apartment, where he has lived for 15 years.

Lewis is a founding member of the Tenants Association of New Center Plaza and Marlenor (TANCPM), which organized to fight back against unlivable conditions (including an elevator that has been down since June 2021) and sharp rent increases that favor newer, white residents. 

Statement from Tenants Association of New Center Plaza and Marlenor:

"The Tenants Association of New Center Plaza and Marlenor is requesting that Golden Management immediately drop the current Eviction Case against Lewis Bass. As of today, his rent is up to date and paid in full, making this a frivolous and seemingly retaliatory eviction case."

Lewis's first hearing is Friday May 6th.

This week, tenants found out that Golden Management is being replaced by Continental Management...

Stay tuned for updates on how you can support Lewis and TANCPM in their housing fight.
