Streaming onto the state capitol grounds in Lansing on the morning of Sept.
17, hundreds from across the state of Michigan and beyond demanded passage of
SB 1306, a bill that would enact a two-year moratorium on foreclosures.
Demanding “Moratorium Now!” and “Bail out the people not the
banks,” protesters held a spirited march, rally and people’s public
hearing detailing both the devastation of foreclosures and the people’s
will to keep fighting for a moratorium.
