PICKET THE COURTS!
Just as our community came together to provide emergency food & supplies to neighbors when Covid-19 hit, we need a massive community response to protect people in our community from losing their homes. Housing is a Human Right. Let’s all RISE UP together against the eviction crisis!
49 - total eviction cases Wednesday afternoon the 19th
40 - number of those evictions in which the landlord is represented by parasite defender, David R Fantera
24 - evictions from Jo-Mar Realty (Paschall apartments)
16 - evictions from The Ranches of Rosebrook
33.6% - rate of eviction filings in Ypsi Township, compared to 2.2% in Ann Arbor and 11.3% county wide (2018 data)
25 - households evicted every week in Washtenaw county
Evictions are cop violence. Housing is a human right. Why should Beal or Flo-Mar be permitted to own hundreds of vacant units as investments while our neighbors are thrown into the street during a pandemic? Because they're wealthy, and we struggle? Fight back against those who take away our basic needs. Take back our housing and stand in solidarity with our neighbors!
Join us on 8/19 to picket the courts in defense of our neighbors. wear a mask, bring a sign (or don't!), and defend our community.
