Greetings,
My name is Eugene Stanley, and I am the Director of Communications for the Chicago Anti-Eviction Campaign (CAEC). I am contacting you today to share some exciting and crucial material with you about our organization, and the work we do around the Human Right to Housing.
Our organization was founded in 2009 by Willie "JR" Fleming and others, and is originally a movement that began in the ten huts of Capetown South Africa. Our resume includes such fetes as leading the way to housing over 100 homeless families right here in the United States, as well as leading the way to the forming of Community Land Trusts right here in Chicago, Illinois. We also have coordinated 3 visits by the United Nations to the U.S. over our years in this fight for Human Rights for all.
We hope that you will find this information engaging and pertinent, and want to thank you for the opportunity to share our successes with you. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at the contact information listed in this emails signature line.
