(Occupy Redwood City) Gloria Takla, one of the 99% fighting to save her home from foreclosure [View all]

http://occupyredwoodcity.tumblr.com/post/18177738934

Come out to support Gloria Takla, one of the 99% fighting to save her home from foreclosure!

What: A Press Event to support Gloria Takla who is facing foreclosure.

When: 4 PM, Thursday March 1.

Where: In front of the San Mateo County Superior Court, 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063.

Who: Members of the community group ACCE (Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment), Occupy Redwood City, Occupy San Jose, SignOn.org and more!

Over the past five months Gloria Takla has been waging a fight to save her home from foreclosure by JPMorgan Chase. Gloria has led a community organizing campaign with the support of members of the community group ACCE (Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment), Occupy Redwood City, Occupy San Jose and SignOn.org, who have on four occasions turned out over fifty people to demonstrations in support of her cause, seen hundreds of people make calls into Chase’s executive offices, generated hundreds of petition signatures through SignOn.org, and asked elected representatives Rep. Jackie Speier and Sen. Diane Feinstein to call Chase executives in support of Gloria.

Gloria is a leader in the fight to win “Principal Reduction Now!” She also tells a compelling story of being steered into a predatory loan, putting up $150,000 of her life savings as a down payment and facing foreclosure as a result of Chase’s deceptive lending practices.

Here are FIVE THINGS YOU CAN DO to help win justice for Gloria:

1. Turn out to support Gloria on Thursday, March 1!

2. E-mail this invitation to your friends and family.

3. Email this link to Gloria’s online petition to your friends and family!

4. Call Jamie Dimon at 212-270-1111 and tell him to give Gloria Takla a permanent loan modification.

5. Check out Gloria telling her story on Youtube and pass it on.

Thank you and see you Thursday!
