Check out this good piece by The Guardian on the #OccupyOurHomes action yesterday in East New York. I would like to point out that The Guardian is a British publication, yet they covered this story better than any US publications (hint hint New York Times).

Homeless Family Occupies Foreclosed Home in Brooklyn (Inside Story)
Check out this video from the Occupy Our Homes action yesterday in East New York. I am so proud that I was one of the thousand or so people who marched through the neighborhood and supported this family occupying this foreclosed house. I am so proud that Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ), an organization of which I am a member, participated in this action in solidarity with the community in East New York and as part of the Occupy movement. We marched to four different houses that the banks have foreclosed on and ended our action with a rally and block party, part of which is shown at the end of this video.
