Demand a moratorium on foreclosures and evictions now!

THE MORTGAGE BANKERS ASSOCIATION (MBA)—the biggest national lobby of all
the banks—including the criminal predatory lenders, that are busy evicting
your neighbors, relatives, friends and maybe you from your home—is holding
it's annual policy conference in Washington D.C., on April 16 and 17.
Their main goal is to make sure that bankers continue to get bailed out
while families get tossed out!

Losing our homes: A NATIONAL EMERGENCY: And it’s getting worse. One in
every 4 subprime mortgage victims are either in or near fore­closure.
Soon, almost 10% of the homes of working families across the country could
be in foreclosure. For these families, this isn’t a recession—it’s a
depression and a national emergency that calls for emergency measures.

A mORATORIUM ON FORECLOSURES & EVICTIONS —politicians have the authority
to do it. Many may not realize that Governors, State Legislatures, the
President and Congress (as well as the department of Housing and Urban
Development) have the statutory authority to declare a moratorium on home
foreclosures and evictions during a time of either natural or economic
emergency disaster (it’s important to include evictions because record
numbers of renters are also losing their apartments).

This fight is for all of us. Come to D.C. on April 16 bring a bus, van, or
a carload of people. Whether you are directly effected by the home
foreclosure epidemic, or just outraged that the Government seems ready to
give hundreds of billions of dollars to rescue banks from failing while
doing nothing for those who are losing their homes, join people from
around the country in Washington, D.C. on April 16 to shake up the bankers
and wake up the government. Let’s not wait until we’re all homeless.

UNITE AND ORGAINZE= SURVIVAL Whether it’s rising gas and food prices • the
lack of health care • losing our jobs • having our wages cut • sinking
further into credit card, student loan, or medical debt • or budget cuts •
or the destruction of public housing • or ending this war that is costing
lives and almost a half a billion dollars a day • surviving hard times is
going require that we stick together and organize.
