Boston: 4 facing charges for shutting down Bank of America during environmental protest

The four activists: Elise Ansel, Adrienne Naylor, Laila Murad, and Candace Bollinger used large, cylindrical tubes to lock their arms together, as Bollinger was locked directly to the door-handle of the bank with a bicycle u-lock around her neck. Protesters on both sides of the street held up banners, chanted, sang songs, and yelled encouragement for their four comrades, while bearing the strong wind that ripped through the streets.

Fossil Fools Day, was a day of direct, localized action against major contributors to climate change. Protests and actions occurred in several locations across the US and the World. The day was intended to spark community-based awareness and action against climate change.
