2/14/2009. Tucson, Arizona. Citizens, homeowners, family and friends begin to organize in resistance to housing foreclosures, and their right to remain in their homes despite being unable to pay their mortgages. In this time of economic crisis, the organization ACORN is assisting organizing with a campaign for people to assert a basic human right: the right to shelter. As unemployment levels skyrocket and everyday people find it impossible to make their mortgage payments. These same banks caused the economic collapse as predatory lending practices, and frenzied unsound speculation has led to massive lender-default.
These banks that are supposed to receive these payments, however, are about to receive billions in a tax-payer free-money bailout, while they take away homes of the most economically vulnerable.

Now is the time to work with your community, be involved, support your neighbors, while stopping the banks from screwing us and making out like bandit. This is a problem for everyone not just an individual one.

Get involved, contact Tucson ACORN at (520)623-9389, or email azacorntu@acorn.org
