Scenes from a South SF Home Foreclosure Rally

Several rallies in Northern California happened today calling for lawmakers to help on a moratorium of foreclosures. ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) helped spark the protests, calling on all "mortgage lenders and servicers to implement a 90-day foreclosure moratorium and to use this time to modify loans to affordable terms for homeowners."
