Breaking Into Vacant Foreclosed Houses & Moving In The Homeless "The Modern Underground Railroad," Says Twin Cities' Activist

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Twin Cities Daily Planet reports:

• Poverty rights activists broke into at least a dozen vacant Minneapolis buildings [last] week and helped homeless families move in. “This is the modern underground railroad,” said Cheri Honkala, National Organizer for the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, the group organizing the “takeovers.” [Last] week’s actions are part of a growing national movement to illegally open up thousands of vacant, foreclosed homes to provide housing for the growing number of homeless people.
