On December 6 a year ago, the groups of activists around the country participated in a day of action for housing justice launching the Occupy Our Homes movement. Since a year ago , activists, homeless advocates, students, homeowners and other occupy groups have come together to fight against illegal foreclosures and evictions.
Today, Los Angeles based group, Occupy Fights Foreclosure, celebrates a year anniversary and protests together with activists , homeowners and members of other occupy groups inside the Wells Fargo branch on 1600 Vine street in Hollywood. The protesters demand justice, a stop to illegal foreclosures, reduction of the principal of underwater mortgages and full compliance with the national Attorney General settlement. After an hour, Wells Fargo bank officials shut down the branch and forced the protesters to leave the building.
