Occupy Atlanta will hold a press conference tonight at 9pm at 4197 Shoreside Circle, Snellville, GA, 30039. We will explain our progress on saving the Rorey family from a wrongful foreclosure of this property by their mortgage holder.

We are also excited to welcome the formation of Occupy Gwinnett. Members of the new occupation will be present. One of their first actions will be to continue the protective occupation of the Rorey home. They will also be researching and taking action against other wrongful foreclosures in Gwinnett County. Metro Atlanta, including Gwinnett County, has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country.

Occupy Atlanta looks forward to expanding the occupation movement by taking on corporate and government abuses like the one against the Rorey family. Together we can protect each other from a corrupt economic system that continues to gobble up our homes, our jobs, and our dreams

Occupy Atlanta is part of a national social movement, inspired by the world-wide movement  touched off by the Arab Spring. We speak for the 99% of Americans who are under the overwhelming political and economic domination of the wealthiest 1%. Occupy Atlanta vows to no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. Our movement includes people from many socioeconomic strata, ethnic backgrounds and political persuasions. What unites us is a determination to invigorate participatory democracy and give voice and political power back to the majority.
