Civil Disobedience Set for August 4

On August 4 at 8:30 a.m. in Springfield, activists will risk arrest for non-violent civil disobedience. Their goal is to stop a bank that pays its CEO millions of dollars a year from evicting a low-income family from their home on Rochelle Street. Dozens of homes in Springfield whose poor owners were evicted by rich banks have remained vacant and abandoned for years. The August 4 protest is being organized by a group that has organized civil disobedience in Springfield before. Photos of one of these events where 15 people were arrested are at:

The group is www.SpringfieldNoOneLeaves.org. Organizers are asking people to attend the August 4 event, even if they don't want to risk arrest. The protest will be at 68 Rochelle Street.
