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 which bails out the banks with virtually every foreclosure thru the takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-are responsible for the foreclosure epidemic. He will speak on the immediate demand for a national two-year moratorium to stop foreclosures and the national conference being planned in Detroit March 31 to press for this demand. This demand is especially timely in light of the tremendous growth of anti-foreclosure/eviction actions across the country.

Also speaking at the meeting is Willie “J.R.” Fleming, a community leader for over a decade and a seasoned human rights organizer with such groups as the Chicago Coalition to Protect Public Housing, and the Hip Hop Congress, J.R. was a co-founder of the Chicago Anti-Eviction Campaign (AEC) in 2009.
