Derrick Jensen at Capitol Theater Aug. 25 (Olympia WA)
please post and announce widely:
Derrick Jensen, author and activist
Friday, August 25
Capitol Theater (206 5th Ave SE Olympia, WA)
Doors open at 7:30pm, Event begins 8:00pm
Tickets are $5.00- $15.00 and are available at the box office night of show.
Come one, come all and put a fire under our community to fight the federal
grand jury coming to town, the occupation of Cheetwood (Black Bear Place,
the Nisqually name for Olympia), and the destruction of the Earth. Come
feel comforted that there are others who realize that the American
occupation started here, and that Iraq is just another page in a long book
of Civilization's death march. Join together with your friends in creating
a wall of resistance against this occupation here in America and against
outrageous state oppression. The Green Scare -- the FBI witch-hunt against
environmental activists -- has come to town, but we are up the challenge.
One person who has helped many realize the total failure of civilization
is author and activist Derrick Jensen. He has two new books about fighting
civilization, called Endgame volume I and II, and will speak about them.
Members of Olympia Civil Liberties Resource, a group formed to support the
civil liberties of activists in response to the Green Scare, will also
speak about how you can help the resistance movement against state
oppression and the grand jury coming to town. Real people, with real
friends and family, are facing 35-400 years in jail for allegedly
committing arson in this area. We need to show support for these people
and let the government know we will not tolerate their outrageous use of
force enabling their occupation and destruction of this placed called
America.
Derrick Jensen is the author of Endgame Volumes I and II, The Culture of
Make Believe, A Language Older than Words, Listening to the Land:
Conversations about Nature, Culture, and Eros, a USA Today Critics Choice
for one of the best nature books of 1995, and Railroads and Clearcuts. He
writes for The New York Times Magazine, Audubon, and The Sun Magazine,
among many others.
Event sponsored by: Done and Done - Proceeds help benefit Olympia Civil
