Under US law, the rich can “steal” cheap foreclosed houses. “People’s” historian Howard Zinn writes, “It is not easy to prove that protest changes policy.” This Monday, March 30th, Rosemary Williams is launching a protest that just might change things! She is refusing to leave her home at 3138 Clinton Ave. South in Minneapolis. It fell into foreclosure after having been refinanced once, and again two years ago to help make ends meet with an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM). Monthly payments shot up to $2,000! The community is rallying around her cry: STOP foreclosures and evictions!

In April, 2008, Minnesota saw 1,405 foreclosures , which was a 68 percent-rise over the same period in 2007, according to a RealtyTrac study. In the first quarter of 2008, Minnesota was hit with 4,231 foreclosures. By August in Minneapolis alone, 950 homes were abandoned, according to Minnesota Public Radio. Such homes were evacuated, locked, and the heat kept on to prevent pipes from freezing.
