Demonstrate in Lansing at Governor Granholm's State of State speech Wednesday, February 3, 2010-5:30 pm
Demand that Governor Granholm use her powers to DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY and Place a Two-Year Moratorium on Foreclosures, Evictions and Utility Shutoffs in Michigan. For Transportation from Detroit call 313-887-4344 -- Transportation leaving Detroit at 3:30 PM (Feb 3) from parking lot on southeast corner of Temple and Third Streets (behind MCHT Building). The people of Michigan need emergency relief NOW to survive the economic catastrophe that we are in. We demand that Gov. Granholm exercise her authority under MCL 10.31 to declare a State of Economic Emergency in Michigan and place an immediate Moratorium on all Foreclosures, Evictions and Utility Shutoffs. In addition, we demand that the State Legislature pass S.B. 29 which calls for a two-year moratorium on foreclosures. Furthermore, emergency relief is needed in the City of Detroit, the hardest hit major city with 45% unemployed, families losing their lives due to DTE Energy shutoffs, neighborhoods destroyed by foreclosures and evictions, Detroit schools continuing to fail, and City services diminished due to lay-offs. Call Mayor Bing at 224-9566 to demand he declare a State of Economic Emergency in the City of Detroit. We must demand that the Governor apply to President Obama for money to bail out Michigan cities and towns, especially those with the highest unemployment. . We need funds for jobs for youth to rebuild the houses that have been stripped and destroyed, and money to stop the destruction of public education and services in our cities. The money for the bankers, corporations and military must go to Bailout the People!
