Dispelling the Fear
Welcome to The Hub – Ireland:
A self-help, voluntary group for people in mortgage distress.
Book 1.
Dispelling the Fear:
The Platform for People Affected by Mortgages (PAH) is one of the strongest elements in Spain’s massive anti-austerity movement. The first PAH, in Barcelona, formed in 2009 after Spain’s housing bubble burst in spectacular fashion, bringing the whole economy down with it. More than half a million households have lost their homes since 2008, and there are now well over 200 PAHs and local housing assemblies.
The Hub – Ireland and other activists concerned with social change across Ireland has been a game changer.
A couple of years ago: Very few people were turning up in the “Eviction Courts”.
Today, There are not only people turning up at court, but freinds of The Hub-Ireland canvassing homes to highlight the plight of what can only be described as a national disgrace perpetrated by the Banks and facilitated by the Government.
Here is our first booklet, It is our way of fighting back:
It is in an A4 format but when we go to print it will be in an A5 size. Feel free to download, share and pass it around: Spain woke up, Ireland needs 2.
We are going to print with no money: but that is normally what we do: “a wing and a prayer”.
It is our wish and intention to print a few thousand copies and get them into every group, every Hub, so they can distribute them, far and wide.
