Today, Sergio Ceballos received a writ of eviction, and within 24 hours could be forcefully evicted from his South Minneapolis home even though Chase Bank has said they will get back to him by Friday about halting his eviction and modifying his loan. Over a year ago in a similar situation, Hennepin County sheriffs forcefully evicted the Cruz house in a series of evictions costing the city of Minneapolis over $40,000 as 39 supporters of the family were arrested.

Sergio lives in the Eviction Free Zone, where residents believe public resources should not be used to carry out evictions of residents negotiating with their lenders. Sergio, still in the process of negotiating with the bank, was illegally dual tracked by Chase Bank. He can pay for his home and deserves to stay. Join us this Thursday, 11:30am, at the Hennepin County Government Center as we march on Sheriff Stanek to demand that our sheriffs are not used to evict Sergio and his family.

I just have to share what the courageous people are doing in Minneapolis.

Will the sheriff show up with pepper spray and tear gas? Will the new Chief of Police, send in 40+ cops and a swat team like the other COP did?
