4/16 - Protest Mortgage Bankers Assn

[Troops Out Now Coalition]

_*/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!
