Occupy Homes or Occupy Our Homes[1][2] is part of the Occupy movement which attempts to prevent the foreclosure of people's homes.[1] Protesters delay foreclosures by camping out on the foreclosed property. They also stage protests at the banks responsible for the ongoing foreclosure crisis, sometimes blocking their entrances.[3][4] It has been compared to the direct action taken by people to prevent home foreclosures during the Great Depression in the United States.[5]
