“This is our house now:” ACORN mob begins breaking into homes
“This is our house now:” ACORN mob begins breaking into homes
Reporting Derek Valcourt BALTIMORE (WJZ) ― A community organization breaks into a foreclosed home in what they are calling an act of civil disobedience. The group wants to train homeowners facing eviction on peaceful ways they can remain in their homes. Derek Valcourt reports their actions are not without controversy. Near Patterson Park, the padlock on the door and the sign in the window tells part of Donna Hanks foreclosure story. "The mortgage went up $300 in one month," said Hanks, former homeowner. She says the bank refused to modify her loan and foreclosed, kicking her out of the house in September. The community group ACORN calls Hanks a victim of predatory lending. "This is our house now," said Louis Beverly, ACORN. And on Thursday afternoon, they literally broke the foreclosure padlock right off the front door and then broke into the house, letting Hanks back in for the first time in months. "We are actually trespassing, and so this is a way of civil disobedience to try to stay into our house," said Beverly. "Legally it's wrong, but homesteading is the only means that she has left to stay into her house. And we feel as though this is the right thing to do at this particular time to save this family." Inside, there's spray paint on the walls and evidence that someone has possibly been remodeling. The group says it was staging similar demonstrations in six other cities nationwide while urging a moratorium on foreclosures. That's until President _____ stimulus plan beings, helping threatened homeowners on March 4. "As you all can see, Don is reclaiming her home, and she's putting a lock on her door at this time," said Beverly. But that padlock won't stay there for long. .
