City Hall - 320 S 5th St - Downtown Minneapolis

Join us Tuesday morning to demand that the Mayor act to protect Rosemary's
home from eviction by the Minneapolis Police Department. We will be
demanding a meeting with Mayor Rybak to insist he use his political power
to bring resolution to a 6 month long struggle.

Meet in front of city hall on fifth street at 10am, we will rally shortly
then take our demonstration to the Mayor's office.

No Foreclosures, No Evictions! Housing is a Human Right!

1. Call the elected officials on Monday if you can't make the rally

Write, email and call Rosemary Williams' elected officials TODAY to prevent her eviction!
Here's the suggested text to send to the elected officials (below):

"I am very alarmed about the epidemic of imminent and unjust foreclosures in the Green Central neighborhood of south Minneapolis, involving several long-time residents. Rosemary Williams' loss of her home and her neighbors' resistance to it are about to get nationwide attention, as scores of their supporters block the sheriff's effort to remove her.
This is a human rights emergency for this homeowner, her neighbors, and tens of thousands of Americans who are threatened with foreclosure. Join us today by personally intervening and speaking out to keep Rosemary Williams in her home and stop this now."
