DESCRIPTION:As many of you know, the foreclosure crisis claimed over 12,000 homes 
 throughout Oakland since 2006, wiping out generations of wealth built by 
 predominantly people of color & paving the way for outside investors to 
 purchase unprecedented numbers of properties, driving up rents and driving 
 out families. \n\nOne of the latest victims of this type of economic 
 violence and racist, predatory lending practices, was Dorothy Debose and 
 her family.  Ms. Dorothy, now 76 years old, and the family moved into their 
 home @ 6521 Bancroft Ave in the 1960s, to one of the few neighborhoods in 
 Oakland at the time where African Americans could actually buy a house.  
 Some 50 years later, amidst historic displacement, Ms. Dubose's home was 
 taken from her by Wells Fargo and sold to one of the largest investors in 
 Alameda County, Community Fund LLC, owned by Michael Marr.\n\nAfter a very 
 questionable foreclosure process and aggressive behavior on behalf of the 
 investor, Dorothy and her nephew, Omar Osiris, a long time organizer and 
 participant in the movement, decided to take a stand.  The family has 
 decided to not be another victim of displacement and wrongful or illegal 
 behavior and began an occupation of the front portion of their family home 
 last week.  Fellow members of ACCE Action supported the family's right to 
 remain in their home and are working alongside them to see to it they do 
 not get pushed out.\n\nOn Wednesday, March 29th, @ 3pm, Ms. Dorothy, the 
 family with the support of ACCE Action will be publicly launching this 
 fight and they need your help.  Given the extremely aggressive nature of 
 this particular investor, it is important to have their back and support 
 them as much as possible. We are calling on everyone who believes in 
 long-term families right to stay to come out next Wednesday to 6521 
 Bancroft Ave. in East Oakland, support the family and be part of saying no 
 to displacement and the type of race based, economic violence that has 
 pushed so many families from their homes.\n \n
