Occupy Homes
December 1, 2011 in Finance, Headline, Occupy
Across the country occupations are working to stave off pending evictions by occupying homes at risk of foreclosure when tenants enlist its support. In Minneapolis following the successful occupation of one woman’s home, occupiers moved to occupy a second home facing foreclosure. Policearrived and arrested two people, kicking the rest out of the house. More than 150 protesters returned to retake the house and stayed the night only to be evicted by 15 squad cars in the morning. Similar actions have cropped up all over the country. On Dec. 6, OWS will stand in solidarity for a national day of action on the foreclosure crisis.
