Occupy Protesters' Pressure Saves Woman's Home

Occupy Protesters Successfully Save Retired Woman's Home

Gloria Takla had just eight days before the bank was going to evict her from her home.

But this afternoon, about 30 Occupy Redwood City, Occupy San Jose and other Bay Area residents marched from Takla's foreclosed home to the Chase Bank across Courthouse Square to demand that the banks extend her loan.

After an hour-long negotiation during which protesters occupied the bank's interior, the bank agreed to extend the loan expiration from Dec. 14 to Feb. 14, 2012, a loan she first took in February 2010.
