Eviction Protest and Blockade of the Home of George Douglass

Homelessness, poverty and 1000's of vacant homes plague the city of Rochester, NY, meanwhile the foreclosures and evictions continue.  As city, county and state officials form a committee to discuss the problem, a home owner, George Douglass, with the assistance of Take Back the Land Rochester and other community members are taking direct action to stop this growing problem by starting a non-violent eviction blockade to keep George Douglass in his home.  This is the second time that Wells Fargo has threatened eviction despite Douglass's attempts to renegotiate his mortgage.
