ENGLISH

We, the undersigned, are joining with Communities United Against Foreclosure and Eviction (CUAFE) to request a one-year moratorium on foreclosures and evictions in Cook County for the period of May 16, 2012 to May 16, 2013.

We are moved to this action because of the intolerable losses suffered by our communities, friends, and families that we have witnessed: losses to businesses, to community life, and to family life; disruptions to the educational and social life of our children; and heightened neighborhood crime and insecurity.

Because the “housing crisis” was generated by banks flagrantly violating all standards of responsible banking, this national disaster is more accurately called a “banking crisis,” and through this moratorium, we are requesting that you stand with us to protect our ravaged communities from the many predations we have suffered.

By signing this petition, we stand together against foreclosures and evictions.We are united in our conviction that a one-year moratorium on foreclosures and evictions in Cook County is a necessary, just, and appropriate response to this crisis. Please join us in our effort to make our communities strong!

SPANISH

Nosotros, los firmantes, juntos con Comunidades Unidas Contra la Ejecución Hipotecaria y Desahucio (CUAFE) pedimos una moratoria de un año en las ejecuciones hipotecarias y desalojos en el Condado de Cook para el período del 16 de mayo, 2012 hasta el 16 de mayo, 2013.

Esta acción es debida a las pérdidas intolerables sufridas por nuestras comunidades, amigos y familias que hemos sido testigos de: pérdidas a los negocios, a la vida comunitaria, y en la vida familiar, interrupciones a la vida educativa y social de nuestros niños, y aumento del crimen y de la inseguridad en nuestros barrios.

Debido a que la "crisis de la vivienda" se genero por los bancos quienes flagrantemente violaron todas las normas de la bancaria responsable, este desastre nacional es más bien llamado una "crisis bancaria", ya través de esta moratoria, estamos pidiendo que se unan a nosotros para proteger a nuestras comunidades devastadas de la depredación que muchos hemos sufrido.

Al firmar esta petición, nos mantenemos unidos contra las ejecuciones hipotecarias y desalojos. Estamos unidos en nuestra convicción de que una moratoria de un año en las ejecuciones hipotecarias y desalojos en el Condado de Cook es una respuesta necesaria, justa y adecuada a esta crisis. Por favor, únase a nosotros en nuestro esfuerzo para que nuestras comunidades sean fuertes!
