Demands placed on Mayor to save Rosemary's Home --
Rybak's office to provide answers tomorrow
On Wednesday, August 19, Rosemary Williams and her supporters crowded into the office of Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak. Although the Mayor knew the group was coming, he chose not to be there and instead dispatched his aides Erica Prosser and Sherman Patterson to deal with the questions from the crowd.
We had two main questions for the Mayor Rybak. First, what will the mayor do to intervene in order to make sure that Rosemary Williams can get her house back? And second, if the various financial institutions that have their claws in Ms. Williams's house ask for legal action, will the mayor's office stop any police action?
Ms. Prosser told the crowd that she would talk to the mayor and would call Rosemary's lawyer, Jordan Kushner, with answers by noon on Thursday, Aug. 20. Regardless of the answers, we will use every means we have to make sure Rosemary keeps her home.
Since August 7, hundreds of people have come out to support Rosemary Williams to save her family home. Ms. Williams has lived on the block for 55 years. She has spent a year speaking out against foreclosure and evictions on every level, always noting that she has not been fighting just for herself but others in the same situation. Ms. Williams is proving to be ray of hope to other families facing foreclosure around the country.
