25 Foreclosure Auction, Oakland, CA
Community activists in the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) join the family of Armando Ramos and Fernanda Cardenas on the steps of the Alameda County Courthouse, to protest the auction of their foreclosed home by the mortgage company OCWEN. Their mortgage had an adjustable rate, and when it went up, Ramos and Cardenas could no longer make the payments. OCWEN then decided to auction off the home on the courthouse steps.
