Article Excerpt:

Steve Meacham is on the frontlines of the foreclosure crisis.

The foreclosure crisis has shown no signs of abating since the recession’s onset. Homeowners continue to be evicted as a result of fraudulent practices by banks and lenders. Yet few community groups have organized a serious response against banks that kick homeowners and tenants out of their homes. One exception is City Life/Vida Urbana, a housing group in Boston. Through public pressure, legal defense and

eviction blockades, the organization helps keep hundreds of families in their homes.

Steve Meacham, 62, has been a City Life organizer for the past 11 years, and involved in community and labor struggles for almost 40. He first came to Boston to attend MIT, but, radicalized by civil rights and black power struggles, dropped out in 1972. Since then, he has “never regretted” joining a variety of people’s movements.
