On May 30, 1995, the NYPD rolled an armored tank down East 13th Street, employing militaristic force to evict squatters from two buildings.

Almost 18 years later to the day, authors, artists, and activists will unite to remember the resistance and celebrate what remains.
Join us for Lower East Side squat stories, slideshows, and readings by Cari Luna, Frank Morales, Fly, and Peter Spagnuolo followed by a short acoustic set by Banji (bandless).
The event will be held at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS), 155 Avenue C between 9th and 10th Streets on Friday, May 31, beginning at 7:00 PM.
There is a $5.00 - $10.00 sliding scale suggested donation. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
