Occupy and ACCE Visit Fortress Billionaire at Home to Demand Halt to Our Neighbors’ Evictions

Update as of September 12: Nationstar postponed two San Francisco evictions of ACCE and Occupy Foreclosure and Eviction Fighters scheduled for today.


Foreclosure and Eviction Fighters from the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), Occupy Bernal, Occupy Noe, and supporters visited the home of billionaire Fortress Investment Group Board Co-Chair Peter Briger on September 9, 2012. They demanded that Briger, who developed Fortress’ “garbage collection” strategy, abandon that strategy that includes foreclosing on and evicting customers with Nationstar loans (formerly Aurora). Briger agreed to look into the eviction and foreclosure cases. The group included some of the Nationstar 7, two of whom face eviction this Wednesday, September 12. Fortress Investment Group owns 77 percent of Nationstar.
