Blockade Still Planned to Stop Eviction
On the same day
Celebration planned for 1st birthday of KJ
Thursday, March 24, Gather 9-9:30 am
Marie-Anne Beliard family,
What a contrast. The forces of life vs. the forces of corporate oppression.
On March 24, 2011, at 10 am, the Sheriff of Norfolk County will appear to forcibly remove the Beliard family from their home.
US Bank/MidFirst Bank have rejected completely reasonable offers to solve this dispute without eviction.
But March 24 is also a beautiful day. It is the first birthday of Keon Fields Jr (“KJ”), the son of Patricia Franklin and nephew of Marie-Anne Beliard.
On March 24, we will fight the oppressive actions of the banks. We will express our anger at injustice. We will block this eviction.
On March 24, we will also express our love for each other and our celebration of life. We will have a cake to celebrate KJ’s birthday. We may even offer a slice to the Sheriff.
We ask MidFirst Bank and US Bank to give KJ the most meaningful birthday present. Stop the eviction.
