From Take Back the Land:

82 year old Mary Lee Ward was lured into a predatory loan 16 years ago. The company that gave her the loan was investigated for predatory practices and intentionally preying on older Black women with property, has since gone out of business and only gave her $1,400.

On Friday, August 19, 2011, however, Mary Lee Ward faces foreclosure related eviction from her Bed-Stuy, Brookland home of 44 years. But she is not going without a fight.

“They’re going to have to take me out bodily and tear down the house to get me,” proclaims Ms. Ward.

Come join the eviction defense for Mary Lee Ward on Friday, August 19, 2011 at 9:00am on 320 Tompkins Ave., NY (G to Bedford-Norstrand or A/C to Kingston-Throop).
