Chicago: Protesters Call On Fannie Mae, Bank Of America To Change Lending, Foreclosure Policies

“Fannie Mae just blinks and looks the other way as homeowners are being driven from their homes,” said Steve Babson, a volunteer organizer with the Detroit Eviction Defense, who traveled to Chicago with roughly 40 activists to “crack down” on banks that are “running roughshod over people.”

“The Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac policies are letting the banks practice unjust foreclosures and evictions, because they can profit off of foreclosures, which in turn are destabilizing our neighborhoods,” he said. “It’s the banks that trashed the economy. It’s not the fault of homeowners that the value of their homes went down.”
