What housing crisis?

While most of America looks to our government and the financial institutions for a solution to the housing crisis, the problem still remains. Countless houses in our neighborhoods sit vacant and boarded up, and the homeless population grows.

These actions are to draw attention to the real crisis here; millions of Americans are unemployed and foreclosures are destroying our communities. Meanwhile the banks and lending companies responsible are being looked up to for answers. These actions are in solidarity with the people who have taken their lives into their own hands and refused to leave their houses when the eviction notices come, and in solidarity with people who decide an empty house in their neighborhood would make a better home for them than the streets. Squatters rights have worked to provide roofs for homeless people throughout Europe and other places, so why not here? Housing is a right whether or not our government gives it to us.

Let's get ready to help our communities resist evictions, and prepare for future housing actions.
