MN PPEHRC HOLDS PRESS CONFERENCE SUPPORTING 72 YEAR OLD ELDER REFUSING
TO LEAVE HER HOME, DETAILS NEXT WEEK IN FORECLOSURE RESISTANCE

Please join the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign for a
press conference on Friday, May 22nd at noon at 3933 Cedar Avenue in
South Minneapolis.

Ona Kingbird, a 72 year old elder from Red Lake, is refusing to leave
her home in South Minneapolis in the face of forcelosure by her bank,
Wells Fargo. By doing so, she now joins a list of six other families
who are also resisting foreclosure and the destruction of their
neighborhood.

PPEHRC will also lay out plans for a week of resistance to
foreclosures and evictions, with neighbors standing together against
big banks.

PPEHRC Organizer, Cheri Honkala says, "These neighbors should serve as
inspiration to communities across Minnesota and the country who wish
to stay in their houses, rather than be destroyed by banks like Wells
Fargo."

What: Press Conference detailing Ona Kingbird's case and next week of
resistance to foreclosures and evictions

When: 12 PM Friday, May 22nd

Where: 3933 Cedar Ave in South Minneapolis
