Re: [Marxism] Anti-foreclosure action in SF

[dean tuckerman <deanosor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Aaron, Is your problem with the word "action"? This fits into the  
category of demonstration and i think it's definitely worthwhile.

I think preventing foreclosure move-outs which is technically not an  
eviction (an eviction is technically for the non-payment of rent or  
something else of a tenant's (rent-payer) duty to perform.) would be  
a worthwhile action, as well as preventing evictions,
