The four-minute video that follows – a compelling narrative from yesterday's Occupy Our Homes initiative – visually represents one of the most on-point expansions I've seen from Occupy Wall Street.
It is the story of one homeless family and how, with the help of hundreds from yesterday's Occupy Our Homes initiative in Brooklyn and NYC, that family re-occupied a vacant home.
Produced by the incomparable Yes Lab, this video had me chanting along with it by the end:
"Our Homes are under attack. We've come to take them back."
I hope it leaves you similarly inspired.

Author's Note:
The home in this video, which is located in Brooklyn, is just one of many homes that were reclaimed in yesterday's national movement.
For constant information and updates on this movement of civil disobedience to retake homes for families from big banks that have left them vacant for (in many cases) years, you can view the Occupy Our Homes Twitter stream.
You can also follow Max Berger, an occupy organizer who is currently with the family and sending updates about the occupation's status.
