A day of Struggle against the banks
8:30 am – Eviction blockade at 8 Inwood St. for Martin Ovalles
Off Olney, Off Bowdoin, in Dorchester
6:30 pm – Vigil for the Dumerant family, 48 Mansfield St. in Everett
Rt. 99 north from Rt. 16, to City Hall, right on Mansfield
(104 bus up Broadway from Sullivan Sq. Get off at City Hall)
We won a big victory in the legislature. The banks can no longer evict tenants no-fault after foreclosure. But they are still trying. We will stop them house by house. And they are still trying to evict homeowners.
There is growing national recognition that our movement has been right all along. Obama has called again for reduction of principal as necessary to solve many mortgage problems. We have been saying that for 3 years. A Federal Reserve Governor recently called on banks to accept rent from occupants of buildings after foreclosure. We have been saying that for 3 years.
Many people who thought principal reduction or eviction defense was wild radicalism a few years ago now think it is necessary. But what they often don't want is the concrete struggle that makes it all possible.
We will continue the struggle!
Martin Ovalles and his daughter are being evicted by Deutsche/HomEq. They are the only people left in a 3-decker. They can easily accept his rent and sell occupied. We will block this eviction! Some people will risk arrest to stop this eviction. We were unable to get court action today to stop this eviction so this blockade looks pretty definite.
The 2 Dumerant families (4 children and an elderly mom) faced an eviction blockade a few weeks ago. We won a stay until Sept. 16. The Dumerants got a new mortgage from Boston Community Capital. BCC negotiated with GMAC (the foreclosing lender) to buy. They were narrowing the gap when GMAC broke off negotiations and put the property under agreement, apparently with an outside investor. We plan a vigil Monday evening. There is no risk of arrest. No eviction is scheduled yet. But we need a good turnout to support the Dumerants!
