Feb. 25, Milwaukee: Organizing Meeting To Stop Foreclosures & Evictions

Join The Fight

STOP FORECLOSURES & EVICTIONS

Wisconsin is suffering our worst housing crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Everyone in Wisconsin is being affected by the foreclosure crisis. Thousands are facing eviction and entire communities are being decimated by abandoned and often vandalized homes which drive down property values. The worst effects of the foreclosure epidemic are in the Black and Latino/a communities and especially women and children.

Jerry Goldberg, a Detroit People’s Attorney and leader of the Moratorium Now Coalition, will speak at this meeting about how the banks-in complicity with the federal government-are responsible for the foreclosure epidemic. He will also speak on the immediate demand for a federal moratorium on foreclosures.

The jobs crisis (official unemployment in Milwaukee’s Black community is over 50 percent) will also be addressed with the demand of a federal jobs program based on the model of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930’s.
