DAYLONG NONVIOLENT MASS OCCUPATION on Anniversary Eve of Citizen’s Supreme Court Ruling

J20: Occupy Wall St. West

Friday, January 20, 2012.

Noon @Justin Herman Plaza
, San Francisco Financial District

Respect Human Rights For Human Beings And Not For Corporations

Stop Wall St. Banks & Corporations Attack on our Communities, Homes, Education, Environment, Livelihood and Democracy

JANUARY 20: DON’T GO TO — OR WALK OUT OF — WORK AND SCHOOL. 
No Business as Usual!   

What: A day of mass action centered in the SF Financial District.

When: Friday, January 20

Where: Beginning at Justin Herman Plaza (end of Market St.)

Why: To end corporate personhood. Corporations are NOT people; Money is NOT speech. January 20 is the anniversary eve of the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, which further privileged corporations over people in our Constitution.

•To demand that banks stop foreclosing on our neighbors and evicting them from their homes for profit.  

•To demand a stop to the displacement of families and attacks on immigrants.
•To contribute to ongoing community fights for social and economic justice against banks and corporations.
•To build and mobilize a broad-based, strategic mass movement asserting the people power of the 99% in San Francisco, the Bay Area, California and the region.  

There will be lots of activities. This is what Causa Justa :: Just Cause is planning:

•  Noon - March with us from Justin Herman Plaza to Fannie Mae at 50 California St., to Wells Fargo, and to the ICE building.

Speakers including tenants dealing with unscrupulous landlords; homeowners facing foreclosure; those affected by I.C.E. who will talk about the link between Wells Fargo and detention centers. Also speaking will be reps from SEIU and Young Workers United; there will be street theater/teatro.

•  5PM - Closing march

 with Progressive Workers' Alliance

Dozens of affinity groups and over 55 organizations are participating

10th Street Home: WEEK 1!

The “Occupy Our Homes” national day of action on December 6th saw unprecedented numbers of homeowners taking action to take back or keep their homes.

On that day, the 99% and Occupy Oakland activists took over a Fannie Mae-owned vacant property at 1415 10th Street in historic West Oakland that is now being used as housing for formerly homeless folks and for community meeting space with support of CJJC.

This Saturday, Dec. 10, at least 60+ people turned out at the house, some of them young children and their parents for a story time circle organized by the Colorful Mamas, while other folks came for the membership meeting where participants shared their stories about their fights against foreclosures and to offer support.

The neighbors have been extremely supportive and the broader community as well. With the help of a crew of volunteer plumbers from the neighborhood and from Occupy Oakland, the plumbing now works!

Take Action, Sign the Petition! If you have already signed, CALL Fannie Mae on Tuesday, December 13th. Read more below....

Take Action Now
The 10th Street home was occupied to pressure Fannie Mae into giving back the deed to the Ramirez family whose home was foreclosed on earlier this year.

The loan servicer, Bank of America, pretended to negotiate with Margarita Ramirez, a CJJC member and domestic worker from East Oakland. Instead, they sold the home two weeks early. Thanks to your support in July B of A agreed to rescind the sale & modify the loan, but Fannie Mae is now standing in our way.
Neighborhood activists are occupying the vacant house as leverage to pressure Fannie Mae to return the Ramirez family’s deed.

Return the Deed!
If you agree that Fannie Mae should give the Ramirez family their home back, help us pressure Fannie Mae into doing the right thing. Please sign this petition and pass it along to your networks. We need to get as many people as possible to sign this petition to show that the Ramirez family has the support of a huge community who will not stand by idly while Fannie Mae allows families' home to be stolen.
 

As a government program, Fannie Mae should be working with families to help them keep their homes. 

And... if you agree that enough is enough, call Warren Harris, the Northern California Foreclosure Coordinator on Tuesday at: 562-235-1874. Let him know that he needs to commit to retrieving the deed for the Ramirez home. 

Here's what to say:

"I'm a supporter of the home occupation to get the Ramirez family their deed, and I am a member of the 99%.

I'm demanding that you start the process to retrieve the deed for the Ramirez Family at 2586 63rd Ave, Oakland CA, and contact Causa Justa :: Just Cause as soon as possible to update them on the status of the deed."

10th...
