Friends and Foreclosure Fighters!

I have been blessed with what feels like kind of a sacred charge. I cannot accomplish this without as many people’s help as possible. (we need you to at least call in on Tuesday, 4/4/23 at 9am.)
This could be a milestone in the anti-foreclosure fight against what we now know is 160 years of predatory and prejudiced lending (one historic researcher holds that this is the primary reason for the continuing racial divide in wealth in the United States). The key Massachusetts courts, the Housing Courts, where the fight to end, reverse and redress predatory lending violations have begun a new practice of stripping not only the property rights and equal protection rights, but, in fact, First Amendment rights from those who fight illegal foreclosures and evictions.
I will be the first to address this fundamental stripping of First Amendment rights in oral argument. The universe has placed that hearing on, of all days, the 55th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. I had already planned to rely on his incisive and elegant formulation of the necessity of access to persuading others (freedom of speech).
What we need is an unprecedented magnitude of witnesses to this hearing. It is scheduled for Tuesday, 4/4/23 at 9AM ET. You can call in and listen to the proceeding: as the case is being heard in Session II, the phone number is 877-730-2624; passcode is 2530102#. Further, if you will contact me, please, and let me know if you can be there, there are further (and maybe better) ways to access the hearing. Please recruit friends and family – this matters.
Please, this is a potential watershed moment for this movement to make it clear that even if these illegal, immoral, and, in fact, criminal practices have been overwhelmingly ignored by our courts, it does not mean that we will put up with this injustice any longer.
In peace and power, love, Grace Ross MAAPL.ORG 617-291-5591
