Photos: Seven Arrested at Springfield Rally

On August 22, police arrested seven people for non-violent civil disobedience in Springfield. They were protesting the decision by a bank that pays its CEO millions of dollars a year to force a low-income family out of their home. The protest was organized by www.SpringfieldNoOneLeaves.org.

These activists were willing

These activists were willing to risk arrest to block Alex Richardson's eviction. In each past eviction blockade in Springfield, banks have called off the evictions because of mass protests and people willing to risk arrest. Wells Fargo went ahead with the eviction on August 22, but this fight is not over.
