Occupy Sacramento 24-hour Vigil At Governor's Loft Demands Foreclosure Moratorium

Governor’s Home Targeted Monday for Round-the-Clock Vigil; Homeowners, Occupy and Foreclosure Groups Demand Moratorium to Save California Homeowners

SACRAMENTO, CA – Governor Brown’s loft residence has been targeted – beginning Monday (August 6) – for a round-the-clock, day and night vigil with no announced end time designed to pressure the Governor to declare a statewide foreclosure moratorium and save Californians’ homes.

The vigil began Monday (August 6) at 9:30 a.m. at the corner of 16th & J Streets, where Brown has his loft residence, according to Occupy groups and distressed homeowners from around the state. The Occupy Sacramento Foreclosure Team issued this statement:

“On Monday, we will begin a vigil with no end date in front of the Governor’s Sacramento home on behalf of the millions of Californians who have lost their homes or are facing the loss of their homes through foreclosure, and other distressed property actions. 

We want the governor to use his executive power to declare a state of fiscal emergency and an immediate foreclosure moratorium.
