Normal 0

On Tuesday, Aug. 18, 12:00 noon, Rosemary Williams, her supporters and neighbors will gather at her home at 3138 Clinton Ave. S in Minneapolis. We will give an update on the latest developments in the negotiations and present plans for future actions.

As negotiations with GMAC and Ms. Williams continue, we are getting a peek into the dirty world of finance. Names mentioned so far include GMAC, MERS, the bankrupt Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services. These corrupt financial institutions are all lining up to skim their dollars of a family’s misery and the downfall of our communities.

Since August 7, hundreds of people have come out to support Rosemary Williams to save her family home. Ms. Williams has lived on the block for 55 years. She has spent a year speaking out against foreclosure and evictions on every level, always noting that she has not been fighting just for herself but others in the same situation. Ms. Williams is proving to be ray of hope to other families facing foreclosure around the country.
