Occupy London (Ontario) – Eviction day


Occupy London received eviction notices on Tuesday, November 8th.  An eviction notice even was taped to the sign that said “sorry for the inconvenience — we are trying to change the world”

These photos were taken that day.  There are notes about specific photos in the set on Flickr.

The eviction deadline was 6pm that night, and a few of these photos were taken during the rally that evening.  One photo shows some of the people who very large tarp covered tents and some supplies.  During the rally, people linked their arms together to surround the tarp with a human chain.

On Wednesday, November 9th around 12:30am, the police raided the park, to destroy belongings (in garbage trucks), to take tents and supplies, and to try to pressure everyone out.
