Take a Stand Against Wrongful Eviction

Sponsored by: Care2

For the more than 1.6 billion people suffering from some sort of shelter deprivation in the world, that future is bleak. Without access to adequate shelter, clean water or sanitation, upwards of 10 million people die each year from preventable diseases. Many of them are infants. In some parts of the world, entire families face forced eviction from property or land they own.

Secure tenure signifies that an individual has protection against eviction from housing or property they rightfully own or rent. Right now, families in many parts of the world are being forced from their homes as a result of harassment, corruption, excessive bureaucracy and discrimination against women and minorities.

Once secure tenure is established, it can break the cycle of poverty by spurring economic development, offering long-term stability for families and reducing conflicts within communities.

Raise your voice today against wrongful eviction, and help those who are trying to break out of poverty.

When you speak out against crime and violence on a HUD subsidized property, that management and HUD enables, you can get harassed from your apartment. A corporate landlord, with several partnerships, can file frivilous eviction proceedings against a tenant for made up reasons and the judge refuses to hear your case. With corruption, a tenant can constantly get pushed into mediation until they're too worn out to fight back any longer. Learn more and visit... http://typog.blogspot.com/

It is disgusting, inhumane and words cannot cover the injustice. If only there were such things as karma or god, then we could all relax in the knowledge a balance would take place. As these things do not exist, we must make our own karma or police our own injustices.

So long as an individual's 'secure tenure' includes the responsibility to pay the rent or mortgage and, in rental situations, the landlord's right not to renew a lease at the end of the lease term, it's a no-brainer.

I really believe in this petition because although I haven't been evicted, I've come close. My mom and I have dealt with so many corrupt "people". The only reason I haven't been evicted where I am now is that my mom recently passed away and I told them I was working on moving out. I've had to deal with their condescending tones and looks due to the fact not only am I a young woman, I'm also of mixed blood (and they've given me nasty comments because of it). It's not right to have to be afraid every day I'm going to wind up evicted because of they're racist..no one should have to go through eviction unless there's a real, good reason for it.
