Occupy MN Moves into Foreclosed Home in North Minneapolis
By Jordan Hansen | 11/11/11
Via the UpTake:
"Monique White was on the verge of being evicted from her North Minneapolis home after U.S. Bank moved to foreclose. Occupy MN activists camping out in front of Minneapolis City Hall for over a month faced a showdown with Hennepin County, which wanted to evict them. So these two strange bedfellows teamed up. Occupy MN is now sleeping in White's house, and in tents in her front lawn."
