Dispatch from a Midwestern City

To anyone who has ever dreamt of a world beyond the boundaries imposed upon the one we currently inhabit. To all who cringe with disgust at the thought of another month’s work to pay for another month’s rent. To anyone who has dared to notice the glaring inadequacy of this walking death sold to us as life: These words are for you.

Bloomington: Michael Baker Jr./I-69 Planning Office Attacked

Witnesses say protesters wearing bandannas over their faces broke a window and wrote graffiti at the I-69 office in Bloomington just after noon Wednesday.

Bloomington police were called to the office at One City Centre at 12:12 p.m. According to the police report, witnesses said about a dozen men and women arrived at the building carrying a “Stop I-69” sign, marched into the building and used chalk to mark up the sidewalk, steps and the inner and outer walls. A chunk of concrete was thrown, reportedly by a protester, breaking out a glass pane in the entry door. The protesters then scattered and were gone by the time police arrived.

Call-Out to Indy Media Producers Opposed to I-69!

Friends, Comrades, Artists, Writers, anyone with a Camera,

The fight against the NAFTA Superhighway is in full swing! On May 19th, the first tree sit went up in the branches. Over two weeks later, it's still there and growing! This marks the beginning of this Summer's direct action campaign against I-69... but only the very beginning. There's more to come, and we need to find ways to document and publicize everything that is and will be happening.
