San Jose, CA. – On April 6, renters protested the cruel and senseless eviction of 92 year old World War II veteran Paul Mayer from his apartment of 44 years. A tsunami of evictions is sweeping San Jose, targeting especially women, families with children, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Class lines are emerging between those City Councilmembers who staunchly defend the human right to housing, and those who place landlord property rights before the lives of human beings. The City Council will vote on just cause eviction protections for people like Mr. Mayer on April 18.

  1. Through Googling I found that Paul received and extension and does not have to be out of his apartment until July. Would you follow up on his story so we can know what happens to him?
