Greensboro Must Answer

What if I told you, the essential humanity of men can be protected and preserved only where Greensboro must answer — not just to the wealthy, not just to those of a particular religion, or a particular race, but to all its people.

Do you think anyone would listen? Do you think anyone would give a damn? Do you think Greensboro's elected leaders would give the words any thought?

Or would they continue as they've done for years, making special deals with elite campaign contributors giving away and/or selling city owned properties for well under their market values always citing the same excuse that the City isn't a good landlord.



Would they continue taking people's homes away from them as they did at Heritage House, forcing homeowners to live on the streets and in rented properties then bring in a 3rd party building inspector to make claim that the building was unsafe after the fact even though City of Greensboro building inspectors had passed the building every year for a decade?

Would they give away $2 Million Dollar grants based on falsified study they all knew was a lie?

Would pimps still run our city?


And what if I told you that with the exception of changing one word my opening statement was a quote from none other than Robert F Kennedy:

"...the essential humanity of men can be protected and preserved only where government must answer — not just to the wealthy, not just to those of a particular religion, or a particular race, but to all its people."

Would they listen then?

Greensboro must answer and the day of reckoning is coming soon. Join us. Join the resistance.
