Dominique Walker and supporters speak to those assembled outside 2928 Magnolia St., a vacant house in west Oakland that Walker has lived in without permission from the owner since Nov. 18, 2019.With guns drawn, Alameda County sheriff’s deputies enforced an eviction order early Tuesday morning, arresting two mothers who had moved into an empty West Oakland home, along with two of their supporters.
Walker was being interviewed by the news show"Democracy Now!" in San Francisco when the eviction occurred, at around 5:15 a.m. Walker, 34, and other mothers began occupying the three-bedroom home on Magnolia Street in November to avoid living on the streets. The mothers said the house had been vacant for two years, and that they were acting partly in protest against speculators buying up properties in the Bay Area and leaving them empty amid a growing homelessness crisis.
