May Day 2006

Wave after wave of humanity walked with dignity through the streets of Seattle this evening. Thousands of peaceful immigrants and their supporters came out on Mayday to tell the USA: we are here; we work hard; and we deserve justice and citizenship.

I have never seen so many American flags. And determined faces. Many wore black which seemed to display the seriousness of their political struggle.

Ft. Lewis Demonstration for Kevin Benderman's Freedom

Kevin Banderman is serving 15 months in the brig for refusing to be deployed to Iraq. After he had filed for conscientious objector status the military prosecuted and convicted him of missing movement. In other words, he was no longer willing to be part of what he considers to be an unjust and immoral war. And the military doesn't like that.
