Hundreds Come Out For Occupy SF Housing Day of Actions

OccupySF Housing Day of Actions December 3

In conjunction with OccupySF, the Tenants Union, Causa Justa:: Just Cause, Housing Rights Committee. Eviction Defense Collaborative, ACCE, Tenants Together & others held a day of actions focused on the role banks play in the evictions of tenants via their financing of real-estate speculators.
Banks: No more Evictions and Foreclosures for Profit!
Tenants and allies marched in 4 neighborhoods (Bayview, Castro, Mission & Tenderloin) starting at 11 AM protesting how banks and real estate speculators work hand in hand to evict tenants for profits. The neighborhood marches then converged on Justin Herman for the mass march. Well over 500 people then marched to Wells Fargo and delivered a letter demanding the bank stop financing evictions. The march then went to the offices of the Building Managers & Oweners Association (BOMA), a leading lobbyist for landlords and the leading voice calling for the eviction of OccupySF from Justin Herman Plaza, and delivered BOMA an eviction notice for being a public nuisance.
