* Hear people’s attorney Jerry Goldberg tell about how they’ve been fighting foreclosures in Detroit. Jerry is a founder of the Moratorium NOW! Coalition to Stop Foreclosures, Evictions & Utility Shutoffs.
* Community speak-out - Come and share your ideas on how to fight back and protect our homes.
Today the vast majority of home loans are owned or backed up by the federal government. This means when your home is foreclosed, the government pays off the bank for the full value of the inflated loan, evicts you from your home, and then sells off your home to some investor for peanuts. This is a silent bail-out of the banks.
Instead of evicting us from our homes, the government should declare a moratorium on foreclosures – just like they did in 25 states during the 1930’s. Then people could stay in their homes with affordable payments, based on the real value of their property.
Sponsored by Bail Out the People Movement, Moratorium NOW! Coalition, and Nuestra Casa Community Services, with many thanks to Bishop Ernest L. Jackson and the Grace Tabernacle Community Church. For information call 415-738-4739 actioncenter-sf@peoplesmail.net or 925-597-0008
