Well-known poor people's advocate Cheri Honkala is running on the
Green Party ticket for Sheriff of Philadelphia and ArgusFest is
holding a fundraiser for the campaign.

Why hold a fundraiser in Denver for a candidate in the Philadelphia
sheriff's race? Because the banks are out of control, the foreclosure
crisis is deepening and nothing substantial is being done about it.

...UNTIL NOW!

If elected sheriff Cheri will:

- Stop all all foreclosure evictions and home sales by the sheriff's
office in Philadelphia

- Refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

- Support the development of community-based land trusts

- Uphold the U.S. Constitution

The 2004 Green Party Presidential Nominee David Cobb called Cheri "a
long-distance runner for social justice" and said "I think Cheri's
campaign can become the "signature" national electoral campaign for
progressives of all stripes in 2011".

Honkala founded the national Poor People's Economic Human Rights
Campaign and has organized numerous street demonstrations in the city
as well as reclaiming and occupying vacant homes for poor families in
need of housing. She's been arrested over 200 times for her activism
and has been called the most endangered activist in America.
Endangered or not, she's running for sheriff and she wants to
radically change the office from a tool for the financial industry
into an advocate or ombudsman for struggling homeowners in the city.
Her campaign theme is "Keeping Families in Their Homes. No
Foreclosures". She will refuse to enforce court orders to throw people
out of their homes on behalf of the banks.

The Cheri Honkala for Sheriff of Philadelphia campaign is the most
significant move that's been made to counteract the banks power and we
need your support!

Because this is an off-year election at a time unemployment and
foreclosures are at a high, Honkala's vision of a reconfigured role of
a "People's Sheriff" should be of interest and inspiration not only to
the people in Philadelphia but across the country.

THE FIGHT STARTS IN PHILLY BUT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING...
