Jennifer, 
Sorry! I thought it was pretty clear. I check emails on my phone so you can email me and my cell is 603-986-8687. There were 2 emails strings for some reason.

8 or 9 Occupiers boosted the ranks of folks from City Life/Vida Urbana for a foreclosure protest today. 

There will be more canvasing this Sat. I guess check with Katie for details. 

And there is another foreclosure sale protest next Mon, Jan 23. Need to be there by1:30 sharp for 2pm sale. (if your late you could miss it.) the address is: the home of Marie Odestin,  236 Cross St, Malden. 

I will drive, have room for 4 riders and can meet folks at the Sullivan Square T stop on the orange line at 12:30. Just let me know

"Our goal is a society that prioritizes the needs of all before the profits of the few." Passed by Occupy Boston General Assembly, 11/29/11.

>> Hey all!  
>> 
>> A quick follow-up on yesterday's canvassing -- THANK YOU to the people who came out.   We had around 10 people from Occupy Boston, which solidly quadrupled the amount of territory we were able to cover.   In three hours, we got to almost 50 houses.   At least one person that we spoke to had no idea that her home was in foreclosure -- and now she's planning to go to bank tenant meetings and hopefully get some support.   Fantastic stuff.  
>> 
>> As many of you know, CLVU actions are ongoing.  Canvassing is a small but important piece, as are the direct actions, which happen every week in various neighborhoods around Boston.   Meetings to plan these actions happen every Tuesday and Wednesday at 6 p.m. - in JP, they are at 284 Amory Street, 1st floor -- in East Boston,  28 París St. in East Boston, right in Maverick Square behind the clinic (small brick church).   These meetings are open and happen on a weekly basis - they're a fantastic way to meet people, to go further and really get a sense of how this kind of organizing works. 
>> 
>> There are many occupations working on home defense right now, and working with CLVU is one of the best ways we can engage with communities in Boston who have been directly affected by the foreclosure crisis.  On that note, there are TWO actions this week --- both on Tuesday -- that you should mark and tell your friends about!  On Tuesday at 9 a.m., there will be an "underwater mortgage" action in front of Bank of America.   Bring your swim trunks and your flippers!   It's pretty short notice, so we're mostly just sending it out to let people know that it's happening  (details below)    
>> 
>> The second action is Tuesday at 1 p.m., when a group of us will be heading out to Everett to participate in the auction protest.  One of the people who came canvassing with us, Luis Delgado, is having his home go up for sale this Tuesday.   Bring signs and come prepared to raise a ruckus!  (a disciplined one, a disciplined one!)   If you are planning on going on Tuesday and can provide a ride  (or need one!) please email me at katie at occupyboston.org.   Location is 11 Russell Pl, Everett.

>> Dear friends,
>>             Bank of America is inviting workout counselors from the region to a special training on how to do loan modification on Bank of America loans.  Many of these workout counselors are our friends and do excellent work.  But they don’t have the tools they need to fix the crisis.
>>             We know what tools they need and we’ve been demanding it for 5 years:
>> PRINCIPAL REDUCTION.  Reduce the amount owed.  Don’t put principal on the end of the loan as a balloon payment.  Don’t extend the term.  Reduce the amount OWED.  The Banks deliberately ran up real estate values as part of the housing bubble.  The bubble burst as they knew it would.  The Banks should fix the crisis by reducing principal to real value.
>>  
>> We demand that Bank of America (and all Wall St. Banks)
>> Reduce principal to real value as part of loan modification
>> If “1” doesn’t happen, sell the property to occupants or a non-profit at real value
>> Stop all no-fault evictions.  Accept the rent!
>> Attached is our question and answer sheet on “why principal reduction”
>> City Life organizing staff will be in Monday afternoon on the holiday for questions.
