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

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

If I'm next door to someone being foreclosed, and the bank wants to leave it vacant so they don't have to book a new appraisal on the house and admit they are in poor financial shape, then I consider it very much my business.
