Occupy LA stops Eviction

California woman's case show how the movement can use its muscle against banks.

Rose Gudiel did everything to stop being evicted. She managed to get her job back and kept her rent in escrow but the bank refused to take it saying the case was closed, until Occupy LA got involved.

In Philadelphia Cheri Honkala is running for Sheriff under the Green Party banner with the vow no eviction of homeowners who did nothing wrong but can’t afford their rent. During the first depression several communities outlawed evictions, instead of a lot of homes becoming vacant.

Cheri Honkala spoke at Occupy Philly telling of homeowners who were self-imprisoned in their homes for fear the sheriff would throw their belongings out and padlock their home.

My neighbor’s sister in Lancaster County can be evicted very soon.

Why don’t the occupation movements right now start 24 hour silent vigils at the homes of people being evicted, less silent if the nearby neighbors get involved or strongly approve,

PS Why can’t Occupations have phones with buttons to push for different messages and mail boxes instead of just web sites. For those who are computer illiterate and those like me who are illiterate enough not to navigate being on Facebook. Rep. Rangle suggested something similar.
