Eight Earth First! protesters are still waiting to be arraigned after their arrest Saturday at a Staples office supply store in Atlanta, Georgia.

While 60 others rallied outside, four men and four women locked themselves to homemade tree stumps, to call attention to Staples' selling of products made from old growth timber.

The eight were charged with one misdemeanor count of criminal trespass and one felony count of obstruction of justice. Due to the felony change and prohibitively high bail, the activists said they would remain in jail until arraignment.
