I am starting this thread to begin a dialog to discuss ideas for a local action to follow this theme. Share your ideas...

In regards to this thread:

I am new to the area of Pocatello and so I don't really know the status of mortgage problems here.  However, it would seem reasonable to have a march of some sort in Old Town on that day especially around the major banks. In support of those people across the nation. The following comes directly from

http://occupywallst.org/article/december-6-occupy-wall-street-goes-home/

December 6 will be a big day of action for the Occupy Wall Street movement. #OWS will join the struggle of families and communities that have been on the front lines of a struggle for economic justice. We will stand in solidarity and ask our fellow occupations to join us for a national day of action on the foreclosure crisis. We are fighting Wall Street's reach on every block, every farm, every house in America with sit-ins at foreclosed properties to right this moral injustice.

The Occupy movement is born of the simple belief that humanity could meet our common needs if not for the predation and greed of the very few. Nowhere is this disparity of wealth and power more evident than in the struggle to secure the human right to housing.

In a nation that puts the right to housing at the center of its founding dream, millions of people have lost their homes or fear that they soon will because of the foreclosure crisis. Wall Street created this crisis with lies and greed. And Washington, instead of investigating Wall Street and banks, is cutting back room deals to let bankers escape justice for their crimes.

Wall Street turned a fundamental human need into a badly rigged casino game with fraudulent lending practices and corrupt securitization. They destroyed our economy, kicked tens of thousands of people illegally out of their homes, and are now using a small fraction of the money they stole to buy off politicians and settle for far less than they owe.

More information to come.

Well I've been hard pressed to get more than 3 people in a room to
decide what to do for our day of action on Tuesday. Here's the plan
I've come up with. Camp will be the base for the day of action. Where
ever 3 or more are gathered at the camp at anyone time those people
will decide what action they want to take. I'll be there about
10:30am on Tuesday. If you want to do something, anything for the
foreclosure day of action. Come bring signs, make signs at camp. If
nothing else we will show our presence at the base camp.

Thank You,
Kara
