A CALL TO THE ANTIWAR
MOVEMENT:
- Protest the Mortgage Bankers Association Annual
Conference
- Foreclose the War, Not Peoples'
Homes!
- Moratorium Now!
|
Attention antiwar
activists--dust off your protest signs and bring them to a national
demonstration against home foreclosures and evictions in Washington DC, on
Wednesday, April 16.
Join the Ad Hoc National Network Against Home Foreclosures and
Evictions in front of the Mortgage Bankers Association Annual
Conference, the biggest assembly of mortgage bankers in the country, to demand
a moratorium on home foreclosures and evictions. Almost everyone hates the war
in Iraq, but until now many have seemed resigned to leaving it up to
politicians to end it. That¢s because most people have felt that the war
didn¢t affect them personally. That mindset is coming to an end.
Mass anger over home foreclosures, rising unemployment, rising gas and food
prices etc. is starting to transform passive opposition to the war into urgent
and active mass anger at the war. More people are viewing the war¢s cost
as one of the main reasons for economic hard times. People tend to pay a lot
more attention to the money wasted on the war plus the fact that banks are
being bailed out by the government when their losing their homes and jobs.
Finally, there is the potential for forging the movement that can force an end
to the war. We can give meaning to the 5th anniversary of this criminal war by
making it the moment that antiwar activists, at the grass roots level, employ
the strategy that the war makers have always feared--merging the fight against
the war abroad with the struggle of working and poor people right here. Come to
D.C. on April 16, and start giving the war- makers the nightmare that they
hoped they could avoid. Foreclose the war, not peoples¢ homes!
