"Louis Beverly, an activist with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) who has tried to call attention to foreclosures in the city, is expected to turn himself in to police this morning and face a burglary charge, authorities said today.
He is being accused of breaking the padlock on a home so that the homeowner could reclaim the dwelling as part of a protest effort, according to city police.Last week, according to WJZ, ACORN called the act of breaking into Donna Hanks' home near Patterson Park an act of civil disobedience.
ACORN has been trying to draw attention to the foreclosure crisis in cities across the country, while also urging a moratorium on foreclosures."
