On Thursday 15 September, the Ymere housing association wants to evict a resident. Officially due to demolition/renovation/sale plans, but that hasn't been the case for years, not even now! Help this resident defend the right of residence!
As BPW, we have contributed to the successful demonstrations in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Arnhem, Tilburg, Nijmegen, The Hague, Utrecht and Groningen.
