One chapter of Greelis' memoir - titled simply "Cop Book" - details his undercover work around the 2008 Republican National Convention, including attending a Northfield peace group's forum, placing a short-lived informant in the RNC Welcoming Committee, participating in Critical Mass and protests throughout the convention.

Rosemary Williams and four other Minnesota women have decided to resist the foreclosure and eviction monster that's destroying our communities.

People from the Twin Cities are helping these women defy eviction, the Hennepin County Sheriff, and the big banks that want to steal their homes. Produced by Twin Cities Indymedia and the Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign. Here's the 110-second trailer; the full 12 minute video is posted below the fold...

Wednesday night-- A proposal from GMAC to keep Rosemary Williams in her home appears to be on the table.  According to an email and phone call from Minneapolis City Councilwoman Elizabeth Glidden early this afternoon, a proposal has been pitched between Tom Moreno, CEO of GMAC ResCap, and Carolyn Olson, President of GMHC.  Glidden and others have informed the Minneapolis Police that an offer has been made.

After a somewhat tense night last night, tonight's mood is cautiously optimistic as the occupation at 3138 Clinton continues.  Thursday morning, all supporters are asked to come to an 11am press conference at which more details about the negotiations will be announced.  The words of GMAC and Elizabeth Glidden have been hollow before, but what impact has the continued holding of space on Clinton Avenue had?  We may find out Thursday.

UPDATE 6:30pm Wednesday - GMAC may  be negotiating.  Press conference tomorrow at 11am--all are encouraged to attend for an update! Tonight, stop by to spend time at the house until 10pm.

UPDATE 5am Wednesday - Mostly calm night - few cop drive-bys.  "You're the coolest party in the neighborhood," said one.  Many folks still at house, spirits good but vigilant!
