On October 9 at 8 a.m. in Springfield, residents protested the eviction of Sue and Miguel Soto from their home. The sheriff arrived, then left without evicting the Sotos from their home at 275 Main Street in Springfield's Indian Orchard neighborhood.

The protest was organized by a group known as Springfield No One Leaves (SNOL). The group's web site is www.SpringfieldNoOneLeaves.org.

“I want to thank everyone who helped us today postpone the eviction from our home," Sue Soto said. "This has been a very tiring time for Miguel and I personally. Even though we are leaving our home we do have a new home to go to. We appreciate the help and support you have given us. We will be there to support and help SNOL whenever we can.”
