Occupy Group Protests Home Foreclosures
A group of Occupy protesters took to the streets of downtown Los Angeles on Thursday to protest what they call "wrongful foreclosures." The protesters, an offshoot of the "Occupy Our Homes" group, claim that banks are seizing homes on fraudulent charges.
California currently has one of the highes foreclosure rates in the country, with one in every 379 homes filing for foreclosure in 2012, and experts predict that rates will continue to rise in 2013.
