Take Back The Land and allies gathered at George Douglass' home in the 19th Ward today, December 2nd, 2014, demanding that Wells Fargo call off its eviction order. The marshall and the movers failed to appear. Today was won. We'll see what tomorrow brings. #TakeBackTheLandROC #FuckWellsFargo #HousingIsAHumanRight #EvictionDefense
From the D&C (http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2014/12/02/george-douglass-eviction-protest-rochester/19788461/):
"We look at this as being similar to civil rights laws," said Ryan Acuff of Take Back the Land, the eviction blockade group that staged Tuesday's event. "People initially had to break unjust laws in order to get changes, and hold sit-ins to enforce their civil rights. In this case, people are living in their homes in order to enforce their human right to housing."
