OCCUPYING ON LAWRENCE STREET

Occupiers went to 1191 Lawrence Street to bring attention to the predatory practices of banks, causing foreclosures such as the 1191 Lawrence Street house.  It was a protest against America’s housing crisis and while Occupying the yard there, they helped the homeowner learn about her options and eventually get her house back out of foreclosure.

Outpost A was located at 1191 Lawrence Street between ? and ?.  With there, occupiers shared information with countless passersby, talking to them about bank foreclosures—many of which are fraudulent—and their devastating impact on neighborhoods. Just from 2008 through 2011, 7,437 foreclosures were filed in Lane County Courthouse alone.
