The Occupy Our Homes campaign kicked off last Tuesday when hundreds of people, including activists, neighborhood residents and a couple of City Council members, marched through a neglected Brooklyn neighborhood to open a foreclosed house to a homeless family. Alfredo Carrasquillo, the father of that family, spoke about the event and the future of OOH with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.
