On December 6th, 2011, the Human Right to Housing Program's allies and friends teamed up with Occupy groups across the country for a highly publicized Day of Action in over 25 cities. A total of 45 diverse events, from foreclosure auction protests to "housing liberations" (moving homeless families into people-less homes), drew attention to the ongoing mass displacement occurring as a result of years of continued policies that have allowed housing to be used as collateral for speculative financial dealings.
