Homeowners Battered by “Hurricane Fannie Mae” to Speak Out at Detroit Rally
Join us on Feb. 13 at the Metro AFL-CIO, 600 W. Lafayette, corner of 3rd St., Detroit (across from Detroit News). Free parking in rear lot off 3rd.
Fannie Mae, the failing mortgage lender taken over by the federal government in 2008, has since foreclosed on 20,000 families in Wayne County and thousands more in Oakland and Macomb. Homeowners who have successfully resisted eviction will talk about their experience and the need for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to halt foreclosures– as they have in areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy— and do what regulators are forcing banks to do: reduce mortgage principal to market values. Lawyers allied with Detroit Eviction Defense will talk about legal strategies, organizers will talk about “street heat” tactics, and activist-musician Bill Meyer will warm up the proceedings with some music.
