It’s easy to despair about the foreclosure crisis currently sweeping the country; but fortunately, in Boston at least, people are getting together to do something about it. City Life / Vida Urbana is a tenant organizing group that’s been helping people in Boston fight for affordable housing for the last 35 years, and now has its sights on foreclosed buildings. With the help of hundreds of volunteer student canvassers, they’ve organized a “bank tenants’ union” to help folks in foreclosed properties fight for their rights. Come and hear what one group is doing, and how YOU can get invovled. For more information, contact Abi Vladeck at abigail.vladeck@gmail.com.
