     Artists’ Television Access is a San Francisco-based, artist-run, non-profit organization that cultivates and promotes culturally-aware, underground media and experimental art. We provide an accessible screening venue and gallery for the presentation of programmed and guest-curated screenings, exhibitions, performances, workshops and events. We believe in fostering a supportive community for the exhibition of innovative art and the exchange of non-conformist ideas.

    Happy 30th Anniversary to ATA!

    EFSF is endorsing this action to keep the Sergio Silva-Lainez family in their home of 23 years. This will be a walking tour of all of the landlord’s current properties, in which the estimated values will be revealed along the way, as well as a demand to stop the eviction.

    Friends! With the help of Eviction Free SF, the tenants of 3150 to 3156 26th are holding a press conference and protest to bring awareness to their unlawful and unjust eviction!

    Please come support us! This is bigger than just you or us, the 30+ individuals being evicted, this is about the plight and unjust evictions going on city wide! We need to make this stop! End the eviction epidemic!
     
    Month Long Dattani Call-in
    When: Starting today and for a month!
    Where: from your phone!
    Unfortunately, our dear friends Tom and Patricia are facing a deadline with their bad landlord, one Mr. Kaushik Dattani.

    Which is why we are asking you to repeatedly reach out to him throughout this month, asking him to stop the eviction of his 20th Street tenants.     If you are not sure what to say, we have a suggestion:””Hi, my name is______ and I am asking you today, Tax Day, to cease the eviction of your tenants at 3305 20th Street. I am aware that Tom and Patricia have been loyal, responsible, rent paying tenants, and that Patricia is living off of disability income and may not be easily rehoused. This is not right. Please, have a heart, and consider the people that will be hurt by this eviction if it continues to happen.”

    Contacts are:
    Office Phone: 415-546-1238
    Cell Phone: 415-742-0888
    Fax: 415-546-1421
    Email info@dattani.net


     
    General Meeting
    When: Wednesday, August 20th at 6:00PM
    Where: Housing Rights Committee of SF (417 S. Van Ness)
     
    General Meeting this Wednesday. We encourage new folks to come at 5:30 to meet new people and ask questions. Come prepared to work on cases and join a subcommittee (if you desire) to help with some in-depth action work. We need more help, as there are so many evictions in this city!
     
    In solidarity,
