We are still looking for people to fulfill a number of tasks. From civil disobedience to picketing to outreach to money donations |
Wachusett update 7/07
We have heard from the two tree sitters and they are ok. They have not seen much activity in the forest as of yet. Today some local news sources picked up the story and we are waiting to see the reaction.
One young earth defender was detained two days ago. Yesterday a hiker was detained. Both are now free. Local plain clothes police attempted to start a fight with him (probably to have a reason to arrest him), by being rough and using obscene language.
The telegram and Gazette newspaper had an article that said that more than a dozen young people were found on the mountain and that they had caused some environmental damage and basic vandalism according to Carolyn Crowley, (part owner of the ski area). The report noted that a number of local police from surrounding towns answered the call, as well as state police and counter terrorism teams. It should be noted that no one from EF! was asked to comment in this article and that the only terrorists committing environmental damage are the ski area and the state DEM.
We will be having a meeting within a few days, more to come on that.
We are still looking for people to fulfill a number of tasks. From civil disobedience to picketing to outreach to money donations, please come to the meeting and find out how to help. We will send out the specs soon.
