"Take BACK The Land": The Next (Smart) Stage: Occupy Foreclosures

[kpete]

Even as they were prepping for a general strike, Occupy Oakland called for occupying abandoned and foreclosed properties there, part of a growing national movement to reclaim what has been lost to the greed of banks. Actions in Seattle, Springfield, Mass. - their organization has the great name, No One Leaves - and Brooklyn, N.Y., where protesters came to foreclosure court to sing, beautifully harmonizing,
"Mrs. Auctioneer, all the people here, we're asking you to hold all the sales right now."

1. Kick

The morning of the first eviction

Carried out the wishes of the landlord and his son

The furniture's out / On the sidewalk / Next to the family

That little piggy went to market / So they're kicking out everyone!
