</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:0.5in"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Gary Rogers has been fighting
Fannie Mae.<span> </span>He has been approved for a
new mortgage by Boston Community Capital, which made a cash offer to buy.<span> </span>Fannie Mae won’t accept the offer and is
instead evicting.<span> </span>Gary is in court on Thursday morning.<span> </span>The Northside Bank Tenant Association will be
leading a rally in support of Gary
at 8:30 am in front of the courthouse.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:0.5in"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Gary
is a well known figure in Malden
and has wide support.<span> </span>We demand that
Fannie Mae stop the eviction and accept rent from Gary.<span>
</span>If Fannie wants to seek a better offer than BCC, then do so without
eviction.<span> </span>If they can’t find a better
offer, take the BCC offer.</font></font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:0.5in"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">We are also defending long time
member Andres Delgado that day.<span> </span>US Bank is
evicting Andres and his family after foreclosure although he is able and
willing to pay rent.<span> </span>We have done
protests at US Bank that we called “un-rent strikes” where we demanded that
they accept rent rather than evict.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:0.5in"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">After being at the Malden Court house,
many people will leave to go the Massachusetts Statehouse at 11:30 pm.<span> </span>We will use the publicity around Gary and Andres’s cases
to show why legislation protecting homeowners against no-fault eviction is so
important. You can also meet us in front of the Statehouse at 11:30 am.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">

have now heard Antonio Ennis perform his movement piece “[Beat Back] The Bank
Attack”.<span> </span>He has performed in rallies,
downtown Boston,
at events, and on busses to protests.<span>
</span>That one piece is part of a CD of songs now completed.<span> </span>Antonio is now doing the video back up to
that CD.</font></font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">

video back up will be over a hundred members of the movement gathering at the
home of Drusilla Francis and Sandra Douglas.<span>
</span>We did a successful eviction blockade there for Drusilla, and later
Drusilla and Sandra repurchased the home together.</font></font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">

tradition, Antonio wants this video to feature not only City Life, but the much
broader movement.<span> </span>We are inviting other
organizations to send delegates with their T shirts and banners to be filmed in
this video.<span> </span>We expect the CD to be
picked up around the country.</font></font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">
