Support Home Defenders: Make America a Foreclosure-Free Zone
"Some things are worth
fighting
for, and I think your family and your home are two of those things."
-Baltimore
ACORN Foreclosure Fighters
Co-Chair Louis Beverly
The
foreclosure crisis lies at the very
heart of the broader economic collapse. The glut of foreclosed
properties on the market forced housing prices into a tailspin, and
banks loaded up with mortgage-backed securities and complex
derivatives, unable to value or sell these assets, stopped lending to
each other and the credit markets froze up, triggering the broader
economic morass.
A broad and successful economic recovery is impossible without directly
addressing the record foreclosure rate that lies at its heart.
If we do not take any action, Credit Suisse predicts that there will be
between 8 and 9 million foreclosures in the next four years, at a
potential cost to the economy of $702 billion.
ACORN members are launching a Homesteading effort as part of ACORN's
comprehensive foreclosure campaign. ACORN is working with its
membership and activists around the country to build "Home Defender
Teams." These teams will be prepared to mobilize on short notice to
peacefully help defend a family's right to stay in their homes until a
fair solution to the crisis is put into place by the new
Administration. We are recruiting allies and elected
officials to
support our efforts and call for a full and comprehensive solution to
this crisis.
Are you willing to be a Home Defender in your community?
If you live in one of these Tier 1 cities, your help is needed with the initial roll-out of the Homesteading campaign. Trainings will take place the second week of February and the kick-off events will be held the 3rd week of February.
