july 8, 2009 -- yesterday a group of Cascadia Earth First!ers and
Rising Tide members took action against the continued liquidation and
destruction of Oregon's Elliot State Forest. A road block was put
into place. This morning the free state was raided...60+ cops

yesterday a group of Cascadia Earth First!ers and Rising Tide members
took action against the continued liquidation and destruction of
Oregon's Elliot State Forest. Using sky pods, bipods, road blockades,
overturned cargo vans, lock downs and many other beautiful
installations, the road to Umpcoos Ridge timber sale has been
occupied, held and reclaimed for the forest, the people and future
generations.

This morning the block was raided with 60+ cops who came equipt with
bulldozers etc.

22 protesters are being held at the Douglas County jail in Roseburg,
Oregon. Protesters on the outside of the blockade have been forced 5
miles away from the blockade. It is highly likely, based on screams
that police are using PAIN COMPLIANCE on the locked down protesters.

As more info as to how people can show solidarity arises word will be
put up...for more info  http://www.forestdefensenow.org/
