Evicted From Camps, Occupy Moves Into Homes

The Takeaway

Occupy Wall Street encampments have been disappearing across the country.  But after seeing seeing  their presence steadily diminish in recent weeks as cold weather and police-led  evictions  have cleared camps, Occupy has found a new rallying cry. “Foreclose on banks, not people” is the maxim of a new viral video from Occupy Our Homes, the next iteration of the movement. Occupy Our Homes began a major campaign Tuesday, staging marches in 25 cities, and taking over foreclosed properties for homeless families. Tasha Glasgow is a homeless mother of two who marched on – and occupied – a foreclosed home as part of  Occupy Our Homes  on Tuesday.  Louise Story, Wall Street and finance reporter for The New York Times, talks about how the financial sector is responding to Occupy’s latest tactic.
