Mortgage Bankers Association Comes to Chicago, Receives Wrathful Welcome
Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "When the Mortgage Bankers Association decided
to hold their annual conference in Chicago, they weren't counting on a
welcome committee. What they got was more than 7,000 protesters taking
over the road underneath their downtown rooftop reception at the city's
Art Institute, chanting, 'We are the 99 percent' and 'How to fix the
deficit? Tax, tax, tax the rich.' Take Back Chicago, a coalition of
labor unions and community groups, were joined by Occupy Chicago in the
first of a three-day series of demonstrations around the Mortgage
Bankers Association meeting."
