Report from the February 10th Leonard Peltier March and Rally

February 2, 2007 marked the 31st anniversary of Leonard Peltier's illegal extradition to the United States from Canada using coerced and fraudulent testimony. This was the beginning of his odyssey that resulted in his false conviction for the June 1975 murder of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation in Fargo, North Dakota 1977.

On February 10th, supporters from around the Pacific Northwest joined together for a march, demanding freedom for Leonard Peltier.

March 21st: IWW Protest at Starbucks' General Meeting

 The IWW Starbucks Workers Union and Justice from Bean to Cup! campaign invite you to the Starbucks Annual Shareholder Meeting for a celebration of dissent and resistance. Around the world, cafe workers and coffee farmers are struggling against the exploitative labor practices of the world’s largest coffee chain. Baristas in New York, Chicago, and Rockville have made common cause with union baristas in New Zealand and Canada to create an independent voice on the job and win a living wage. At the same time in locations including Ethiopia and Kenya, coffee farmers are demanding that Starbucks respect their autonomy and right to survive.

February 10: Leonard Peltier March in Tacoma

 Leonard Peltier Photograph by Jeffry Scott 14th annual NW Leonard Peltier March & Rally
12:00 NOON: MARCH FOR JUSTICE Portland Ave. Park (on Portland Ave. between E. 35th & E. Fairbanks. Take Portland Ave. exit off I-5 and head east)
1:00 PM: RALLY FOR JUSTICE U.S. Federal Court House, 1717-Pacific Ave.

These are very important times for Leonard Peltier. A new lawsuit has been filed to get all the documents the government has withheld. There are many parallels between Leonard's case & the war in Iraq. Both were created upon the foundation of lies. In time many of the fabrications were revealed. In both cases the government resisted releasing documents that revealed the truth. Behind both are the same reasons for what took place, the interests of multi-national energy corporations. This year our call is for: PEACE WITH JUSTICE & TRUTH! FREE THE DOCUMENTS!

Camp Quixote Given Orders To Disperse

 On February 1st, the day that the City of Olympia banned sitting, panhandling or performing (except in designated areas) on the sidewalk, the Poor People’s Union (PPU) set up a tent encampment in downtown Olympia at the corner of Capitol and Columbia, since that time, the encampment has grown to include 25 tents, each holding more than one person, a kitchen, a portable toilet and a wooden, communal hall.

All of us in the camp view it as our home and respect it as such. People who would have been sleeping outside alone, isolated from any sort of community have now found one, a community with one thing in common: the City has no concern for us as human beings.

Now that we have begun to take care of ourselves independently of the City, the local government and their police are preparing to come and destroy the small, beautiful place that we have built for ourselves.

Report from the January 27th Demonstration

On Saturday, January 27th, a crowd estimated to between 2,000 and 2,500 marched through the Central District of Seattle. The march was organized by a coalition of activists who demanded that the U.S. government end the War in Iraq and bring the troops home now.

For the past couple years, most anti-war demonstrations have been organized by ANSWER. The marches would pass through the downtown core -- beginning or ending at one or more of three hubs: the Federal Building, Westlake Park, and Seattle Center. The January 27th protest was a welcome sea change. It began at 21st and Union, outside the Center for Social Justice, the former headquarters for Aaron Dixon's 2006 campaign for U.S. Senator. Rather than shouting anti-war slogans at downtown shoppers, the activists targeted a stronghold of the military -- the Jackson Place Army Recruiting Center -- and shut it down.
