PATH and FAN have Stopped INTERFOR from destroying the 1000 year old
trees of the Elaho Valley for eight days so far and vow never to let
INTERFOR build another road, cut another ancient forest, or end the
life of another Grizzly by destroying her home.
That's right, there has been ZERO CUT in the upper Elaho Valley for
the past eight days. We need more folks to come up for a day, a few
days or weeks or months, let's give this multinational a run for their
money! We will keep the rest of this valley clear-cut free. We're here
till the snow flies!
Many faces have shown up through the week to help out. Fabulous
cooks, climbers, musicians, witnesses, first time and seasoned
activists from all over the world have passed through and helped us
keep going despite daily aggressive visits from the company strong
arms.
There is currently a waiting list for a spot in tree sits, but
everyone is being patient. There is much to do between sorting out
all the food and supply donations and expanding the tree sits.
The cops will be back for us Wednesday. We could use more faces, and
creative cop stalling tactics. You don't have to be arrested to
participate, our plans are fast evolving so we need more bodies for
support positions!
There is free food and the greatest community in the world up here at
the end of the road , more supplies are waiting to be brought up from
the city so please call before you leave to run us up a load! A huge
thanks to all who have come through and look forward to seeing
returnees as well as new faces.
