NEW YORK (Billboard) - Singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt and former Doors drummer John Densmore were among the activists arrested Wednesday after a public protest in Itasca, Ill., a northwest suburb of Chicago.
Raitt and Densmore joined with other members of the Rainforest Action Network to demonstrate against the forest products company Boise Cascade Corporation, which RAN claims destroys ancient rainforests and tries to limit the free speech rights of its opponents. According to the Chicago Tribune, after a short program of speeches, 12 protesters linked arms and sat down on the outskirts of Boise Cascade's property. After a warning by police, the protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct and driven to a nearby police station. Eight additional protesters were later arrested; all 20 people will likely face fines.
Raitt has been arrested in several similar protests over the years.
