A community leader in Minnesota needs the Occupy Our Homes community to come together to stop her eviction. Rose McGee, a community leader in the Twin Cities, is nearing eviction, possibly as soon as tomorrow.
When Rose lost her job in the recession, she fell behind on her mortgage. Despite owning her home for more than 20 years, CitiMortgage did not work with her to get a modification. Instead, they lied to her about the modification, foreclosed, and sold her home to Fannie Mae.
Rose is fighting back to keep her home and stop this cycle of unjust foreclosures and evictions. Locally, she is partnering with Jewish Community Action, the Northside Community Reinvestment Coalition, and Occupy Homes MN–part of the Occupy Our Homes network that has successfully stopped evictions over the past year. Since CitiMortgage and Fannie Mae are national organizations, Rose needs the backing of people from Portland, ME to San Diego, CA. This struggle for housing justice is a national fight that unites us all.
Rose is back to work now. She can pay her mortgage. The only thing stopping her from being able to live with dignity is Fannie Mae’s refusal to go back to the negotiating table. Rose needs you to give Fannie Mae the push in the right direction. Take a second to sign her petition, and then we’ll be in touch with next steps in the campaign.Can you sign Rose’s petition to CitiMortgage and Fannie Mae to immediately stop her eviction and renegotiate her mortgage?
