Moms squatting in home to protest Bay Area housing crisis are kicked out by deputies

Four women in the Moms 4 Housing group were cuffed before dawn and marched out of a home they had been squatting in since November.

Four women, members of an activist group rallying against the Bay Area’s housing crisis, were escorted from a home in west Oakland before dawn Tuesday after law enforcement served an eviction notice on the property where they had been squatting since November.

The activists, who moved into the home with their children, were previously either homeless or on the brink of homelessness. They said the property had been vacant for years. The deputies eventually entered the home, bound the women’s hands with plastic ties and escorted them out. The names of the individuals taken into custody were not immediately available. Alameda County sheriff’s officials could not be reached for comment early Tuesday morning.

Wedgewood served the women with an eviction notice in early December, which the group vowed to fight. Large groups have rallied outside the house on multiple occasions over the past months, and several City Council members have voiced their support for the women.
