June just informed me that she is trying to organize to stop a foreclosure in downtown San Diego Thursday morning. The homeowner; Rasheeda, has also been the victim of predatory lending. The bank bought her home for a fraction for what she paid for it, and refused to negotiate a new loan. It looks like they are going to be able to get some semi-charitable legal assistance to put an injunction on the home; but we can have only so much faith in the legal system.
You can check out another side of June's story here, but as you see more and more homes foreclose, individualists and opportunists will realize the importance getting behind a movement that deals directly with working class America.
June mentioned that she was going to be able to get the word out on the local Channel 10 News, if her story doesn't fall to the wayside in light of the tragic fighter-jet crash. She still plans handing out flyers and getting the word out as best as she can in order to gather support.
