Village Green Perennial Nursery owner Vera Johnson says more than 35 people showed up Sunday for the first meeting of a group she convened to help others going through what she’s experiencing – battling with banks over loan trouble. (We first reported on her story last Tuesday; the Seattle Times [WSB partner] followed up on Friday.) Vera tells WSB that those who showed up were at “all levels of default/foreclosure, some only months/some over 2 years in the quagmire. … We discussed our options, walk away, willing to do a loan mod[ification] or sue the banks for fraud? We plan to meet regularly, and plan to participate in regular protests with Working Washington, Washington CAN, US Uncut. So many people are facing foreclosure and these folks need to get involved with organizations who are already protesting banks.” (Which Vera did on Saturday – she joined a protest by Washington CAN, as reported on our partner site White Center Now.) She says the group will meet regularly, though the next date is not yet set. They plan to start a blog-format website too. And they’ll invite more people to participate: “We will be inviting anyone who wants to stand up and say NO MORE!”
