As important as a step that this victory is, it isn't a permanent victory yet. We still need to call on MidFirst Bank to totally withdraw the eviction and negotiate fairly with the Woods Family. We also need to tell the City of Rochester not to use our resources acting as the private police force of major banks, and to refuse to enforce the eviction!

Take action here and make sure these vital decision makers hear your voice! 

It's these fights that are the key to showing the obvious abuses of major banks in the nationwide foreclosure crisis. And, pre-foreclosure numbers in the Rochester-area show us that the foreclosure crisis here is only about to get worse. We need to make sure that banks know that Rochester residents resist their evictions with community support and we need to make sure the City government is acting as an ally of our residents, not the banks!

Sign the petition here!

In local fights like this, your voice can make all the difference! Let's make it clear to MidFirst Bank that in Rochester we believe Housing is a Human Right and that we'll stand up together to make it a fact.
