7000 #OWS Protest at Mortgage Bankers in Chicago

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."
