.Sen. Jeanne Shaheen,Rep. Chris Pappas,Sen. Maggie Hassan Why won't the DNC #LetPalestineSpeak? We need Palestinians to speak for themselves about the direct impact of US policy. Let @demconvention know Palestinian voices matter



TODAY we stand with the residents of #IlajeOtumara who are facing an imminent threat of eviction — in violation of court orders and despite longstanding engagement with the Lagos State Urban Renewal Agency around in situ community regeneration. #EndForcedEviction


HAPPENING NOW: Residents of #IlajeOtumara community protest peacefully at the office of Babajide Sanwo-Olu to avert imminent forced eviction of over 10,000 people in violation of court orders and election promises made. Please join us in supporting their struggle. #EndForcedEviction


We wholeheartedly condemn the threat of eviction in blatant disregard of subsisting court orders binding Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) — and also the shameless smear campaign in service of selfish land grab. #IlajeOtumara is a peaceful, well-organized & deeply resilient community. #EndForcedEviction





READ: Our joint press statement w/ Global Rights NG EiE Nigeria CEEHOPE-ChildsRights & LUDI on ongoing #ForcedEviction at #IlajeOtumara & #BabaIjora communities in #Lagos — join us in demanding #Justice4Otumara, immediate relief & rebuilding for 10,000+ evictees. #EndForcedEvictions


Amnesty International Nigeria Housing is a human right, not a privilege No one should be rendered homeless overnight without due process, alternatives, or justice. The Lagos State Government must be held accountable for this cruelty. #StopForcedEvictions
