Urban poor Filipinos make history: #OccupyBulacan 6.000 vacant houses
March 8, the International Women's Day, Filipinos women and KADAMAY led a large contingent of those living in relocation sites/resettlement areas in Bulacan, to occupy about 5,280 vacant houses. The government has not responded kindly to the mass action.They have set up food blockades, harassment is non-stop, against urban poor Filipinos. On March 10, the government gave Kadamay and the thousands of urban poor Filipinos an ultimatum to vacate the premises within 7 days or they will evict all with extreme force.
As a response about 20,000 people have so far occupied about 6,000 houses.
The IAI stand up in solidarity and call for support Kadamay and the people for Zero Evictions Bulacan!

» Open letter: Solidarity against evictions in Bulacan and for new policies for the right to housing throughout the PhilippinesAn urgent appeal to the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Housing: support #OccupyBulacan from eviction
KADAMAY, a national alliance of urban poor Filipinos that last March 8 led a successful campaign to occupy thousands of idle homes in resettlement sites, with the support of IAI ha sent an urgent Appel to Leilani Fahra, the UN Special Rapporteur for the Right ton Housing, to take action in order to address the demands and concerns of the homeless and urban poor. There is an air of urgency as the eviction is imminent and the occupation itself is the largest organized occupation by poor Filipinos in recent history.
