"Some things are worth fighting for, and I think your family and your home are two of those things."
-Baltimore ACORN Foreclosure Fighters Co-Chair Louis Beverly
The foreclosure crisis lies at the very heart of the broader economic collapse. The glut of foreclosed properties on the market forced housing prices into a tailspin, and banks loaded up with mortgage-backed securities and complex derivatives, unable to value or sell these assets, stopped lending to each other and the credit markets froze up, triggering the broader economic morass. A broad and successful economic recovery is impossible without directly addressing the record foreclosure rate that lies at its heart.
If we do not take any action, Credit Suisse predicts that there will be between 8 and 9 million foreclosures in the next four years, at a potential cost to the economy of $702 billion.
ACORN members are launching a Homesteading effort as part of ACORN's comprehensive foreclosure campaign. ACORN is working with its membership and activists around the country to build "Home Defender Teams." These teams will be prepared to mobilize on short notice to peacefully help defend a family's right to stay in their homes until a fair solution to the crisis is put into place by the new Administration. We are recruiting allies and elected officials to support our efforts and call for a full and comprehensive solution to this crisis.
Are you willing to be a Home Defender in your community?
If you live in one of these Tier 1 cities, your help is needed with the initial roll-out of the Homesteading campaign. Trainings will take place the second week of February and the kick-off events will be held the 3rd week of February.
Tuscon, Ariz.
Oakland, Calif.
Los Angeles, Calif.
Contra Costa County, Calif.
Orlando, Fla.
Baltimore, Md.
New York, N.Y.
Houston, Texas
These Tier 2 cities will conduct training and kick-offs in the weeks following the Tier 1 events. (If you live outside these areas we need your help as well! We are creating Home Defenders Toolkits that people can use locally to save the homes in their communities.)
San Mateo County, Calif.
Denver, Colo.
Bridgeport, Conn.
Wilmington, Del.
Broward County, Fla.
Boston, Mass.
Flint, Mich.
Detroit, Mich.
Minneapolis, Minn.
Raleigh, N.C.
Durham, N.C.
Albany, N.Y.
Cincinnati, Ohio
Cleveland, Ohio
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dallas, Texas
If you live somewhere else, you can still help!
Please sign up below and an ACORN organizer from your area will contact you with details of how this campaign will roll out and how you can help stop the foreclosure crisis in your community and nationwide.
I’m a home defender....
;-)
The purpose of these teams may be to obstruct the lenders’ right to reclaim the property according to the terms of the note. If so, Acorn should be charged under the RICO statutes.

Welcome to the USSA, comrade.
They’re definition of “your” as in “your home” is different than ours.

They can and will harass banks even when they have bent over backwards to try to keep the occupants in the house. When it’s plain to the banks that they can only expect dead beats, it’s hard to blame them for acting accordingly.
It all came to an end for the group of "defenders" earlier this month when the Minneapolis PD had finally had enough.
The final moments of the "protest" were captured on Youtube (about 2 min.)
Foreclosure protesters maced kicked arrested Minneapolis police @ Rosemary Williams-9-11 2009
Keep in mind this lady had been foreclosed and has been refusing to leave for several months. The bank finally got her out a while back and the creeps just broke back in at least once.
There are several other videos of the ongoing incident linked to in the "related" section if you are interested.
Is part pf Citizen Wealth, Wade Rathke’s new book?
There’s a fancy house up the pike I really dig.
If I run off the libs who own it, can I squat there and ACORN will send goons to defend me?
Me too. Just let one of those ACORN criminals come to my door. I'll show them some home defense. Like the one self-defense school in my town advertises - "You want 'art' buy a brush." (ie. no martial arts here, basically win the fight, whatever it takes)
ACORNHOLERS with the help of DEMONCRATS cause the housing bubble. Then they squat in the houses they can’t pay for.....mace wouldn’t be my first choice.
can I squat there and ACORN will send goons to defend me?
Only if you agree to sell crack while occupying the place, just like all the other Acorn defended ones.
Until then, it's the bank's home which they generously let you live in long before you've paid for it. Geez...
I think Floridians should sign up. Infiltrate the group. Expose them, work against them.
Good idea! I am sure all the RICO predicates are there, but with Holder as AG AND Democrats controlling Congress there is no chance this will happen.
And even after you pay for it, you must continue to pay taxes.
Please add me to your ACORN (now known as COI) ping list.
Depends, how many child prostitutes are you smuggling in? Remember, ACORN/COI wants you to teach them to not tell nothing to nobody!
“Crack” as in drugs or underage hookers?
[I gotta account for space limitations, ya know]....:D
I don’t know.
What’s the minimum order?
“until a *Fair Solution* to the crisis is *Put into Place* by the *New Administration*”
Aka, Zimbabwe here we come?
The problem with them trying that in Texas is a little thing called The Castle Law.
Sure, they can get Sheila Jackson-Lee, Quannell X, LaRaza and the rest of their merry band of race warriors, CliChe Commie Corruptocrats and Marxists out to protest but no jury in Harris county would convict any property owner for shooting dead a bunch of squatters who had taken over their property and wrecking it.
Either or both as long it makes some money for Masser Soros.
Are you aware of the policy regarding such?
Well,hookers then,I reckon.
Winter’s coming and I can always use them to help tend the critters.
“These teams will be prepared to mobilize on short notice to peacefully help defend a family’s right to stay in their homes until a fair solution to the crisis is put into place by the new Administration.”
Good grief! Pay the mortgage you agreed to pay, like the rest of us did, or get out!
Has anyone else noticed all the infomercials on TV about how to get free GRANTS from the government that do not have to be paid back to buy homes and businesses? CBS is running them all the time..”FREE Government MONEY!!!”
