Occupy protestors move to foreclosed homes
The Occupy Wall Street movement, once focused on financial institutions and the unequal distribution of wealth, has broadened to include the collapse of the housing market and its effect on the American family, according to an article in the Los Angeles Times.
Demonstrations were staged at foreclosed homes in at least two dozen states, and protestors have moved from downtown civic plazas to suburban subdivisions.
In California, a coalition of labor organizers, minority activists and housing supporters gathered in four different cities to help families move back into their foreclosed homes and defend them against eviction, according to the article.
