AFTER LONG & HARD HOUSING JUSTICE ADVOCACY FIGHT BLIND BLACK MOTHER & FAMILY MOVES INTO NEW HOUSE:
To God be the glory!!! Mother Bernice McCloud, a strong Blind Black elderly woman, who was recently unjustly threatened with wrongful eviction, physically assaulted, and called the N-word, moved with her family without any eviction into their new home after a long and hard housing advocacy fight for housing justice. Mother McCloud successfully obtained a housing voucher from the CDC of Long Island after a coalition of housing justice advocates protested and petitioned on her behalf. The McClouds stayed in temporary housing until they could get a house despite the brutally harsh racism, classism, and sexism that Mother Bernice McCloud experienced firsthand in Huntington Station, New York.
This Blind Black elderly woman, Mother Bernice McCloud, has been physically assaulted, pushed to the ground, called the N-word, told that she would be wrongfully evicted, and told to go back to Alabama. The heat was purposely turned off and there was no access to the basement. The sewage pipe was purposely not pumped. Therefore sewage came out of the toilet and the shower. Mother McCloud could not even use the bathroom then in Huntington Station, New York.
THANK GOD MOTHER MCCLOUD AND HER FAMILY MADE IT OUT WITH NO EVICTION AND THEY ARE IN THEIR NEW HOME!!!
Special thank you to Brother Don Roberts, Elder Brenda Jackson-Mackey, Brother Kevin McKenna, Brother William Bailey & Brother Darinel Velasquez and Housing for All, Communities for Change, Long Island Poor Peoples Campaign, Huntington NAACP, Mount Sinai Baptist Church Cathedral Missionaires, Nassau County Legislator Siela Bynoe, Pastor Terrance Daye, Pastor Stephanie B Riddle, Suffolk County Legislator Jason Richberg, President Joe Biden, Vice-President Kamala Harris, HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge, and the CDC of Long Island. Thank you very much for your help and assistance in this housing justice advocacy fight over the last seven months. The McCloud family had been in the housing discrimination and discrimination against the disabled storm for many years to long.
