Lunch Break Rally

Join us as we target global investment in real estate speculation, which puts low income housing and tenants at risk! The rally is timed to coincide with tenants rights actions in Rostock, Germany, during the G-8 Summit of government leaders.
Gather at Franklin Park at 1:00 and then March together to a corporate headquarters target (TBA).
