6/13: TELL THE BANKS AND MORTGAGE COMPANIES – STOP FORECLOSURES & EVICTIONS; LET PEOPLE STAY!

US Bank has received 6.6 billion dollars in TARP (federal bank bail out
dollars), yet along with other banks and mortgage companies, continues
to foreclose and evict people.

On May 8, the Minneapolis City Council passed a resolution urging banks
and mortgage companies foreclosing properties in Minneapolis to:

• Allow foreclosed homeowners to remain in their homes after the foreclosure and;

• Allow tenants in foreclosed rental properties to remain in their rental homes.

The City Council resolution states: Minneapolis homeowners, tenants,
and neighborhoods have suffered a growing number of foreclosed and
vacant homes. These foreclosures destabilize families and neighborhoods
in many ways.

Meanwhile, the banks have received billions of dollars in federal “bail
outs” while continuing to foreclose and evict working and low-income
people from their homes.

The Minneapolis City Council resolution is a “policy recommendation” to the banks and mortgage companies.

It will take the power of the people to demand that the banks and
mortgage companies institute policies that stop putting people on the
street through foreclosures and evictions.

Join the June 13th protest to deliver the message to banks and mortgage
companies to stop putting working and low-income people out of their
homes.
