Moratorium NOW! Coalition to Stop Foreclosures and Evictions

 

Dec. 3 - Pack the court for Mary Eady

Dec. 4 - Candlelight vigil for Marvin and Louise Morris

Dec. 6 - Statewide organizers conference

 

Statewide Organizers Conference 

Saturday, December 6, 2008, 12 Noon to 4:00 pm, Central United Methodist 
Church, 23 E. Adams, Detroit (corner of Woodward and Adams at Grand Circus 
Park).  This event represents a culmination of activities over the last year to 
win a moratorium on foreclosures and evictions in the state of Michigan.  We 
will assess the movement and plan for future actions.  The conference is free 
and open to the public.

 

The importance of this conference and the need to continue to fight for a 
two-year moratorium on foreclosures in Michigan as embodied by SB 1306, can be 
demonstrated by the following foreclosure cases which the Moratorium NOW! 
Coalition is taking up this week. We will not get fooled by phony 
pronouncements from the banks and half-hearted measures by Lansing or 
Washington. The Moratorium NOW! Coalition involves real people who are 
currently facing foreclosures and evictions.  We continue to fight to stop this 
rampant injustice!

 

STOP THE EVICTION OF MARY EADY

Wednesday, December 3, 2008, 11:00 a.m. at 36th District Court, Madison and 
Brush, in downtown Detroit. Mary Eady is a 77-year-old woman on a fixed income 
about to be thrown out of her home of 47 years by Wells Fargo Bank, who just 
received a $25 billion bailout of taxpayer money from the government. Support 
Ms. Eady by packing the courtroom of Judge Izetta Bright (either room 433 or 
434), when a hearing on her eviction will be taking place.

 

PRESS CONFERENCE AT THE SHERIFF'S SALE OF LORENE PARKER'S RESIDENCE, THURSDAY, 
DECEMBER 4, 2008, 12:30 PM, Coleman Young Municipal Center, Room 1607, Woodward 
at Jefferson, Detroit

 

Lorene Parker fell behind on her mortgage with Bank of America when she had 
large medical bills stemming from undergoing a double transplant, a heart and 
liver transplant.  She contacted Bank of America over a period months 
requesting relief on her mortgage because of her medical hardship.  Their 
response was to move forward with foreclosure proceedings, scheduling a 
Sheriff's sale this Thursday.  Come out and support Ms. Parker this Thursday.  
Demand the illegal Sheriff's sale be stopped and Bank of America negotiate a 
loan modification with this woman who has suffered enough.

LOUISE MORRIS

Thursday, December 4, 2008,6:00 p.m., at 9592 Plainview, Detroit, MI 48228,home 
of Marvin and Louise Morris

Mr. and Mrs. Morris are being threatened with eviction from their home of many 
years by Barclays Bank and its servicer, HomEq d/b/a Barclay Capital Real 
Estate.  Their block already has 10 or 11 foreclosed homes on it.  The Morrises 
have been victims of constant servicer abuse by HomEq, and even won a court 
case several years ago.  But now Barclays has obtained a court order for the 
foreclosure of their home.  Mr. and Mrs. Morris are both seniors in poor 
health, but Barclays and HomEq are forging ahead to take their home over a few 
thousand dollars of disputed debt.
