*MARCH ON THE HOUSING COURT*<br>
<br>
*Stop Fannie-Freddie no-fault evictions *<br>
*Thursday, September 12, gather 7:45 am at Haymarket Station (Congress St.)*<br>
*Flyer attached*<br>
<br>
We are calling on our supporters,<br>
<br>
on those facing foreclosure and eviction by Wall St Banks,<br>
<br>
on anyone dealing with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,<br>
<br>
to *JOIN US* next Thursday, Sept. 12, to march on the Boston Housing Court.<br>
<br>
<br>
We are not protesting workers at the Housing Court. We are<br>
protesting<br>
<br>
1. The law allowing banks, real estate corporations and large<br>
landlords to seek and win no-fault evictions in the Housing Court.<br>
<br>
2. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, who relentlessly seek no-fault<br>
evictions of occupants of buildings they own after foreclosure. Olivé<br>
Hendricks was evicted no-fault by Fannie Mae Aug. 22 after a long fight. He<br>
should be the LAST no-fault eviction by Fannie or Freddie<br>
<br>
We are demanding that Mel Watt be confirmed as the new head of FHFA,<br>
replacing Ed DeMarco. Ed DeMarco has prevented Fannie and Freddie from<br>
accepting rent, doing principal reduction, or selling back to owners at<br>
real value.<br>
<br>
We are planning a strong protest; however, no one waiting in the long line<br>
to get into the court for their case will be impeded in any way.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
*Coming up BEFORE Sept. 12 which can help support Sept. 12*<br>
<br>
*Saturday, Sept. 7, 9 am*. Protest Walmart in Chelmsford MA. City Life is<br>
supporting this rally. Gather at 9 am at 1199 with MassUniting for a bus<br>
ride to Chelmsford and a rally at 11 am. Lunch provided on return.<br>
MassUniting<br>
and Jobs with Justice are supporting the action Sept. 12. Wear your T<br>
shirts.<br>
<br>
*Monday, Sept. 9, 9-11 am*. Supreme Judicial Court of Mass. There will be<br>
a half hour of argument between 9 am and 11 am at the Supreme Judicial<br>
Court. Banks are appealing decisions by the Lynn Court allowing our<br>
members to raise issues like fault loan modifications in eviction cases. 1<br>
Pemberton Sq. Boston. Wear your T shirts.<br>
<br>
*Tuesday, Sept. 10, 4:30 pm*. Public hearing on the Invest in Boston<br>
ordinance sponsored by Councilor Felix Arroyo. This ordinance would have<br>
the City use social justice criteria in deciding in which bank to put its<br>
money. One criterion is whether that bank seeks no-fault evictions after<br>
foreclosure. We support this ordinance, although it will NOT stop no-fault<br>
evictions by banks. That would require another ordinance similar to what<br>
Lynn recently passed. However, speaking strongly at this hearing for the<br>
ordinance and against no-fault evictions will build support for the rally<br>
two days later. Wear your T shirts.<br>
