A great article featuring the Executive Directors of one of our coalition partners New Bottom Line and the work of the 99% spring in organizing forces in grassroots organizations, the occupy movement and unions in a larger fight for principle reduction and defending issues of housing on a national level. What do you think are the key lessons of the Spring protest and how can we continue to expand the energy and love of a growing movement for a people-centered America?
Right to the City is growing. Join the movement to reclaim our cities and transform them to be just, democratic and sustainable!

Organizers say about 3,000 people joined a protest against Bank of America headquarters in Boston. Police say they arrested two dozen protesters for trespassing. A published report says the trespass was an act of civil disobedience to protest the lender’s foreclosure practices. No mention was made of new bank card fees.
