> Other cases where we did protests in the last few months

> results.
> Barzola – vigil in Randolph in October
>             Fannie Mae stopped the eviction and was considering

> plan further actions against Fannie
> Lebrun – vigil in Stoughton in November

> Pierre – vigil, several auction protests, march to Sovereign – Nov.  
> to January
>             Sovereign agreed on a price with BCC but attached the
