*DEMO FOR THE HOMESLESS*

Campaign group JUSTICE NOT CRISIS are organising a demonstration to
highlight the issues of homelessness and other housing issues in Birmingham.

One of the main problems at present is the city councils refusal to sell
land to housing associations so they can bulid homes for socail rent. There
is £100MILLION of government grants allocateed for Birmingham that are not
being spent because of the councils policy. this money could build 2,000 new
homes for rent.


*JOIN THE PROTEST*

We are squatting a piece of vacant council housing land on Thursday 30th
October and setting up the JOHN LINES HOMELESS VILLAGE. We are planning a
Halloween party for the Friday night to bring as much attention to the
issues as possible.

Come and join us. Bring a tent if you have one, or anything else that may be
useful.

The site of the demo wioll be made public during the afternoon of Thursday
30th October. Please visit the web site at:
