Detroit, Michigan USA. 20 May 2013. After promising to attend, representatives of federal government mortgage agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failed to show up for a People's Hearing on foreclosures. Residents testified that the two agencies were trying to force them out of their homes rather than working for a solution to the foreclosure crisis. Organizers of the hearing left two empty chairs (left) for them. Edward and Julie Khammo told their story. Credit: Jim West / Alamy Live News
