The Mission Yuppie Eradication Project is a grassroots movement in San Francisco
working to raise awareness about gentrification issues. SInce they advocate
controversial methods, we've created this support page so that international
supporters of the project can stay informed. We plan to include MYEP materials
here so that you can start similar projects in your communities. The Yuppie
dot-com lifestyle must be fought and eliminated, because if it is left
unchecked, it will eventually ruin our neighborhoods, our cities, and
our planet.
When working families, artists, and lifelong residents of San Francisco
neighborhoods are being evicted from their home so some dot-commer can
have some rustic digs, it's time for people to band together and take
direct action.

- Electoral
politics "is a shell game;' don't vote
- Like
father, like son
"But gentrification isn't just obnoxious yuppies bouncing from
cocktail lounges to sushi bars around Valencia and 16th streets. It
also involves the systematic removal of working-class people from
their homes."

Tips on Making Yuppies Pay
- Vandalize their cars: Mercedes, Lexus,
Porsche, Jaguar, and anything that your family wouldn't be able to afford.
- Throw shit at Yuppies as they drive
by, especially if they are on their cell phones.
- Don't patronize Yuppie establishments.
- If you are sitting with friends near
Yuppies, spread rumors about increasing crime in the neighborhood.
- Organize your community against developers
who help gentrification.
- Organize your co-workers against your
Yuppie boss.
- Work with your neighbors to find out
who owns what in your neighborhood
- When Yuppies invade it means higher
rents, so organize a neighborhood Tenant's Association to keep a lid on rents.
- Don't listen to Yuppie radio stations,
which includes your local NPR affiliates.
