OCCUPY WALL STREET MOVES HOME

not to their home, no, but maybe your home

most of these people are homeless

they live on the streets

they've been camping outside in parks for months

but it's getting cold, so they're taking it indoors

moving into neighborhoods across the country

finding it increasingly difficult to camp in public spaces

protesters across the country are reclaiming foreclosed

homes and old boarded-up, abandoned properties

this is a tactical shift for the movement against inequality

they carry signs that read "foreclose on banks, not people."

"It's pretty clear that the fight is against the banks, and the Occupy movement is about occupying spaces.
So occupying a space that should belong to homeowners but belongs to the banks seems like the logical next step
for the Occupy movement," said Jeff Ordower, one of the organizers of Occupy Homes.

this must have been the plan from the very beginning

a way for the homeless to find a home

while arrests have already been made in a couple of

squatting cases it remains to be seen how authorities

will react the movements latest tactics

but since the occupiers are now on the move...

some departments are already in training
