[Occupymendocino] Fwd: Wall Street does NOT want you to try this at home

[Mark Safron]

Begin forwarded message:

Our partners at the Home Defenders League asked me to pass this invite along to folks here at Action for the Common Good who had shown interest in the Local Principal Reduction campaigns in the past. This is great opportunity to take on Wall Street in your own city.

Dear Mark -
"":https://www.wepay.com/donations/support-the-covington-seven p. As we have seen from the last two weeks, things in Washington are horribly broken. For homeowners, the five year wait for real relief will continue, as we face another 3 months of budget negotiations.

However, the City of Richmond, California is leading the way in talking about local solutions for relief for underwater homeowners. Seattle and cities in New Jersey are following with campaigns for Local Principal Reduction. But if we really want to fix what Wall Street bankers broke, these campaigns need to be happening all over America!

You can help make this happen! Join me, HDL Organizing Director Jeff Ordower, on a conference call on Thursday, October 24th at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific to find out how you can be a part of beating Wall Street right in your own hometown. Register here <http://myaccount.maestroconference.com/conference/register/VGN65LF43QVWE1R>.

These programs keep underwater families from having their homes stolen via foreclosure, which helps stabilize the entire community and keeps everyone’s equity from eroding even more. Winning these campaigns is important not just for struggling families, but for the health and strength of entire cities. Register for the call and you can join the discussion and ask questions about to accomplish this where you live.

You may have heard people talk about eminent domain in describing these campaigns. To be clear, that’s a powerful option for cities to use as part of a comprehensive solution to the problem, but it’s definitely not the only one. However, it is the one that has Wall Street bankers up at night working feverishly and spending big money to stop because it’s the one tool that definitely benefits underwater homeowners while also being completely out of the bankers’ control. Join the call <http://myaccount.maestroconference.com/conference/register/VGN65LF43QVWE1R> and you can be a part of beating Wall Street bankers – like the giant investment corporation BlackRock which you might have seen advertised during the baseball playoffs – in your own town.

We look forward to talking more about the fight on the 24th.

In Solidarity,

Jeff Ordower, Organizing Director, Home Defenders League
