People from across the Finger Lakes region of New York came to Geneva, New York on the snowy afternoon of Jan 30 to demand housing justice, safe and secure housing, and an end to racism and disrespect of Black women from the Geneva Housing Authority.
People showed up in response to recent news reports that a GHA employee had victimized three women by discriminating against them to the point of having their Section 8 housing threatened. Since the initial reports, more women have come forward and an internal and external investigation of the GHA has been undertaken. Together with the Geneva Women’s Assembly and the People’s Peaceful Protest, the Geneva Party for Socialism and Liberation organized a rally to connect the demand for safe and secure housing with the demand to cancel rents and mortgages in a movement for housing justice.
