Title A name given to the resource Tenant Unions Calls Attention to Housing Hardships: Evicted Chinatown Renters Showed Up to Protest Description An account of the resource On October 28th, the Citywide Tenants Coalition organized a demonstration in Harlem, demanding governmental agencies to recognize and remedy the citywide shortage of housing stock, unaffordability for low-income renters, and displacement of small businesses. CAAAV youth members along with Chinatown residents undergoing forced evictions attended and cited the 166 Elizabeth Street apartments as a powerful case of illegal eviction. The landlord used excuses to reject rent payment and cut off gas to remove low-income Asian and Hispanic renters. Small business owners faced a shared fate, finding themselves displaced so that the empty storefronts could be rented to corporations and larger businesses. Anti-gentrification protestors criticized the governmental authorities for failing to effectively intervene while using taxpayer money to fund large infrastructure and commercial projects that did little to benefit the struggling small businesses.

Title A name given to the resource Chinatown Factory faces Eviction: Harsh Reality Hits Makers of Fairy-Tale Gowns Description An account of the resource This news article reported in English centered on the possible eviction of a Chinatown garment factory (Fortune Gardens), whose owner was sued by landlords for alleged unpaid rent. The factory’s shutdown could result in the unemployment of 40 Chinese immigrant workers limited in English proficiency. The article presented diverging perspectives on the case. While the building owners framed the eviction as a simple rent dispute, activist groups (CAAAV and the Chinese Staff & Workers’ Association) situated it within the broader post-9/11 Giuliani-era context: the decline of Chinatown’s garment industry and manufacturing sector more generally, intensified police harassment and surveillance, and state-sponsored real estate redevelopment in Lower Manhattan that accelerated gentrification and displacement.

Title A name given to the resource World Social Forum 2004 Description An account of the resource Started in 2001 in Brazil, the World Social Forum (WSF) is a global annual week-long event in which organizers and NGOs convene in the spirit of fighting against systems of power. The WSF mainly serves as a platform for discussing possible worlds outside of one dominated by imperialism, capitalism, and globalization, with the slogan, “Another World Is Possible.” [1] The fourth World Social Forum, held in 2004 in Mumbai, was the first WSF to be held outside its home country of Brazil in order to broaden its focus to Asia and corresponding topics such as the caste system and the relations between India and Pakistan. [2] The WSF is also a subject of criticism. At this particular WSF, criticisms included there were groups that should have been excluded (such as armed militant groups), that the WSF put too much emphasis on discussion and not enough on collective action. [3] Further, a forum counter to the WSF was held at the same time, called Mumbai Resistance (MR) 2004. CAAAV and Domestic Workers United (DWU) members were delegates to the World Social Forum 2004. They visited impoverished urban areas in Mumbai and a network of Adivasi tribes. [4] Through their experiences with local life, CAAAV and DWU members confronted their privilege coming from a developed country where aspects of life such as running water were taken for granted. [5] They learned about the caste system in greater depth and the environmentally destructive extractionist role that Coca-Cola plays in India. [6] After a couple days of the WSF, the delegation began to have criticisms of the event, including that the workshops were all in English with no translators and that NGOs dominated the discussions. [7] The delegation then decided to visit Mumbai Resistance (MR) 2004 to gain insight into the WSF, learning that the WSF has close relations to prominent NGOs. [8] They then marched with Mumbai Resistance against the U.S. invasion of Iraq. [9] The CAAAV and DWU members left with a sense of renewed drive for justice, a sense of responsibility to educate themselves about the effects of U.S. imperialism internationally, and gratitude for what Mumbai had taught them. [10] The World Social Forum Collection primarily contains photos, posters and pamphlets taken from the World Social Forum 2004 and Mumbai Resistance 2004. The photographs primarily document protests. The pamphlets are written by various movements and groups about their own work. The collection also includes papers that detail workshops and seminars.

Title A name given to the resource To Prevent Further Gentrification in Chinatown: 20+ Chinese Students Take on the Responsibility of Organizing Chinese Tenants Description An account of the resource This news article documents a community panel discussion on Chinatown gentrification hosted by CAAAV’s Youth Leadership Project. The event featured five of the six candidates running for Lower Manhattan’s City Council District 1 seat and centered on how to prevent further gentrification in Chinatown. CAAAV also announced the creation of the Manhattan Chinatown Tenants Union. The Youth Leadership Project consists of more than twenty Chinese students whose families recently immigrated to the U.S. from Fujian or Guangdong province. Because many of their parents worked in sweatshops, these students were personally familiar with the cramped, “birdcage-like” living conditions experienced by Chinese immigrant workers. To promote wider understanding of gentrification’s impacts, these students performed original sketches to illustrate how profit-driven landlords used various strategies to harass and evict low-income tenants. CAAAV’s director Li Lin Di (李凌第) also shared their own lived experiences: at 166 Elizabeth Street, the number of Chinese households dropped from 19 to just 9 within three months, as the landlord used illegal tactics such as shutting off gas service. Due to concerns over immigration status and language barriers, many Chinese immigrant tenants endured these unfair treatments. After minor renovations, the vacated units were rented to higher-income newcomers at three to four times the previous rent.

Title A name given to the resource Save Chinatown, Stop Gentrification - Chinese Demonstrators Demanding Extension and Reform of Rent Stabilization Laws Description An account of the resource Summary: Dozens of NYC tenant rights organizations protested at Union Square against the expiration of the state’s rent stabilization laws on June 15. Xian Zhen Li (李贤贞), director of the Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence, emphasized that 70 to 80 percent of Chinatown tenants currently live in properties protected by rent stabilization. In NYC, the average annual income of homeowners per rental property is $32,000, while the median income of tenants living in rent-stabilized units is only $20,000. This discrepancy indicates the insufficiency of current tenant protections. As Chinatown is a low-income immigrant community, extending and reforming rent stabilization legislation is essential to ensuring housing affordability and protecting tenants from displacement and exploitation. Overall, the demonstrators had two demands: 1) extend the validity period of rent stabilization; and 2) reform the current inequalities within rent stabilization laws, including revoking landlords’ right to opt out of the legislation when rent exceeds $2,000. They also called for capping the maximum allowable rent increase upon re-leasing, reducing it from 20 percent to 10 percent. A 20 percent rent increase is unreasonable given the average income of long-term Chinatown tenants and is only affordable to relatively middle-class newcomers. CAAAV pointed out that this tide of gentrification is pushing more and more Chinatown residents into eviction risk without legal protections. Protestors additionally exposed the political corruption that delayed the process of legislative reform. State Governor George Pataki and Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno were both accused of receiving contributions from organizations representing property-owner interests. Specifically, Pataki received a donation of $280,000, while Bruno directly obtained $60,000 from real estate agencies. Last month, CAAAV protestors brought to Albany a petition supporting the extension of rent stabilization, signed by more than a thousand Chinatown residents, but received no response or cooperation. However, as Li stated, tenant rights organizations will not stop. They will keep fighting。 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The China Press/QiaoBao (侨报) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource June 2, 2003 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Source: The China Press/QiaoBao (侨报) Digitized by: Shutong Wu Catalogued and Translated by: Laine Yu-Jing Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Newspaper Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context newsarticle_2003.6.3_QiaoBao Chinatown Chinatown Tenants Union Demonstration Tenant Advocacy https://archives.caaav.org/files/original/3f5d33969d1f03e40c1eb8a06592bc41.jpg c09683944012e6bf54f29b414e3653e1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

[4] Through their experiences with local life, CAAAV and DWU members confronted their privilege coming from a developed country where aspects of life such as running water were taken for granted. [5] They learned about the caste system in greater depth and the environmentally destructive extractionist role that Coca-Cola plays in India. [6] After a couple days of the WSF, the delegation began to have criticisms of the event, including that the workshops were all in English with no translators and that NGOs dominated the discussions. [7] The delegation then decided to visit Mumbai Resistance (MR) 2004 to gain insight into the WSF, learning that the WSF has close relations to prominent NGOs. [8] They then marched with Mumbai Resistance against the U.S. invasion of Iraq. [9] The CAAAV and DWU members left with a sense of renewed drive for justice, a sense of responsibility to educate themselves about the effects of U.S. imperialism internationally, and gratitude for what Mumbai had taught them. [10] The World Social Forum Collection primarily contains photos, posters and pamphlets taken from the World Social Forum 2004 and Mumbai Resistance 2004. The photographs primarily document protests. The pamphlets are written by various movements and groups about their own work. The collection also includes papers that detail workshops and seminars.

Title A name given to the resource World Social Forum 2004 Description An account of the resource Started in 2001 in Brazil, the World Social Forum (WSF) is a global annual week-long event in which organizers and NGOs convene in the spirit of fighting against systems of power. The WSF mainly serves as a platform for discussing possible worlds outside of one dominated by imperialism, capitalism, and globalization, with the slogan, “Another World Is Possible.” [1] The fourth World Social Forum, held in 2004 in Mumbai, was the first WSF to be held outside its home country of Brazil in order to broaden its focus to Asia and corresponding topics such as the caste system and the relations between India and Pakistan. [2] The WSF is also a subject of criticism. At this particular WSF, criticisms included there were groups that should have been excluded (such as armed militant groups), that the WSF put too much emphasis on discussion and not enough on collective action. [3] Further, a forum counter to the WSF was held at the same time, called Mumbai Resistance (MR) 2004. CAAAV and Domestic Workers United (DWU) members were delegates to the World Social Forum 2004.
