===========================================================================
1.  From Chuck Turner To His Supporters: Trial Update  (NO NEED TO ATTEND ON WED)
===========================================================================
 
Yes, the trial stated today. 
 
It focused on the jury selection questionaire and whether or not Wilburn will testify.  However that will not be known until he is called by the prosecutor later in the trial. 
 
Tomorrow, Wednesday October 13, and Thursday October 14, will be focused on the process of selecting the jury panel.  In that light, there is no need for you to attend court proceedings on those 2 days. 
 
It seems likely that the trial itself will start on Friday morning (October 15)  @ John Joseph Moakley US Court House ROOM #1 (Boston).  However, if there is any indication to contrary, we will try to notify you through the ChuckTurnerDaylightNetwork.  
 
Keep watch for a CTDN email msg.
 
Thanks,
Chuck

5.  Eviction Blockade RALLIES: Help us welcome the American Banking Assoc. Covention to Boston (10/17-20)
================================================================================

The American Banking Association convention is coming to Boston

Oct. 17-20!

 

Yes.  The same people responsible for the housing bubble, the economic crisis, a still rising tide of foreclosures, and, most recently, apparent fraud in the foreclosure process. 

 

Help us "welcome" them, by demanding"

Freeze foreclosures!

 

in owner occupied buildings.

 

Stop no-fault evictions in foreclosed buildings! 

 

Sell back to occupants or non-profit at current value!

 

GATHER at Copley Sq. at 4 pm on Sunday, Oct. 17. 

 

MARCH to Hynes Convention Center at 4:30. 

 

PROTEST in front of Hynes from 5-7 pm.

 

Robo-signing and the ongoing crisis

 

            Wall St. banks accuse us of reading all the documents before we signed a loan.  Yet they are signing affidavits of foreclosure without reading anything!

 

            Wall St. banks ask forgiveness because there are so many foreclosures.  They say they are doing their best.  But this wave of foreclosures is their fault!

 

            Wall St. banks protest that it's difficult to keep track of the chain of title.  But that difficulty was deliberately created by them!

 

            We are glad there is a temporary moratorium on foreclosures of owner occupied properties. 

 

            We are demanding that all the banks do the same.  But we know the banks want to simply use that time to get their paperwork in order and then continue as before.  We want a permanent solution. 

 

v     Stop all no-fault post-foreclosure evictions permanently. 

v     Do loan modifications with principal reduction. 

v     Sell foreclosed property to occupants or non-profits at real value.

 

 

Protest in Randolph to defend the Barzola family – Oct. 17, 6-7 pm

 

            We will have an hour-long candlelight vigil at 7 Canessa St. in Randolph.  We are demanding that Fannie Mae accept rent from the Barzola family rather than pursue an eviction.

 

Dumerant Family vs. GMAC

 

            GMAC, the same company first accused in the current robo-signing crisis.  GMAC, who announced that they would suspend foreclosures in 23 states with judicial review of foreclosure (not Mass.).

 

            Although the Dumerants were working toward an offer that matched what GMAC wanted, GMAC broke of negotiations and sold to a third party, apparently an investor.  Therefore, the GMAV eviction is terminated.  The investor has started their own eviction.  We will also fight that eviction with both the sword and the shield (public protest and legal defense).

 

            But why go through many months of trying to evict the Dumerants?  We're asking the investor to sell it back to them for what they paid for it.

8.  FORUM: Feeling Better Yet? Impact of State+Fed. Health Reform on Low-Income Residents (10/26--3:30-5:30pm)
===============================================================================

This is a good opportunity for community folk to ask questions of those knowledgeable on health reform and also those who have some control over shaping at least the state version of it.

What does health reform mean for Massachusetts and its low-income residents? Our own home-grown health reform has served as the model for the federal Accountable Care Act. Are we a good model? Will we have to change and is that a good thing? Join New England's Health and Human Services' director, Christie Hager, and others on Tuesday afternoon, October 26th, as Securing the Safety Net explores "Feel Better Yet? The Impact of Federal and State Health Reform on Massachusetts' Low-Income Residents" at ABCD in downtown Boston. Details are attached and below.

Take part in this stimulating dialogue and information -- on a subject that is only going to grow bigger in our lives as federal health reform requirements kick into gear -- with fellow health and human service providers, advocates and community members, elected and governmental officials and business folk.

To get more information or RSVP, please contact me by Thursday, October 21 and, of course, feel free to send this announcment on to others!
