Last year, Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf was paid more than $19 million. He is planning to evict Diane and Ray Perkins of Springfield from their home at 45 Wilton Street. Dozens of people protested against Wells Fargo in front of the Perkins's home on April 28. In recent years, bank CEOs have been getting rich as they forced dozens of poor people in Springfield out of their homes.

These photos of the protest are used with permission of www.SpringfieldNoOneLeaves.org which organized the event. This group has had victories in recent years, persuading banks to cancel evictions and allow poor people to keep their homes. An article about one such victory is at:
