Yesterday eight peaceful protesters on Chicago�s Fisk Coal Plant painted the message �Quit Coal� on the 450-foot smokestack looming over the city�s Southside Pilsen neighborhood.

The protestors are scheduled to appear in court later today to find out their charges.

Eight different activists who were arrested across town for blockading a barge full of coal have been released and charged with misdemeanors.
