Our Neighbors are being evicted and our community destabilized by the foreclosure crisis!


The Community Action Agency of Somerville (CAAS) in collaboration with Cambridge & Somerville Legal Services (CASLS) is initiating a post-foreclosure outreach and organizing campaing in Somerville.

We are asking YOU to join us as we go door-to-door to foreclosed properties in Somerville to talk with owners and tenants about their rights and how it may be possible for them to stay in their homes.

WHEN: Sunday, November 1st, 1:00-4:30PM
WHERE: CAAS, 66-70 Union Sq., Somerville
(Located directly above the Precinct Bar. 
Take bus #87 from Davis Sq.)

WHAT: a brief training, some snacks,
lots of door-knocking, and a quick debrief.
PLEASE RSVP TO: Rachel Bedick, 617-623-1392 ext. 141

I'm so sorry that these self-centered and non-compassionate people cared only about how your font showed up on their friends list and not about the good work you're doing, and that they gave you such a horrible welcome to LiveJournal. I commend you for reaching out to foreclosure victims in our community. I would sign up to attend your meeting if I weren't home sick with bronchitis, but if I'm better by Sunday I will come. Please add me to your mailing list if you have one.

the first two commenters asked nicely as far as i can tell. way to fly off the handle and sling insults though.

It was initially in huge 36-point bold type -- this was fixed by the time you saw it. I agree that this is a good cause, and I'm also thinking about attending this. (But first, get well!)

I agree.

I'm not exactly sure what was so offensive about the original posting.

It was in Huge Font. Probably fixed by the time you saw it.

I went to today's canvass and highly recommend it. I just hope we can help out some of the folks we talked to.

There will be more opportunities for such work soon, and I'll let you know when I find out more.
