Annual Weekend of Resistance against the Green Scare event

June 7, 2008

This June 7 people from all over North America will gather together on a
single day to discuss the threat against the radical environmental
movement, the Green Scare cases and what they mean, and to question how we
can prevent impending ecological collapse.

The Q&A will be an interactive experience where people from all over will
be able to email questions to Derrik and Marie and a webcast discussion
around those questions with Derrik will ensue.

Each host city gets to build around the webcast however they want. Benefit
shows, dinners, teach ins, marches and protests are all some of the things
already being planned in conjunction with the Q&A. Host Cities can charge
what they see fit for this event all that is asked is all funds raised are
used to support Green Scare prisoners.

All that is needed is  is a laptop, Internet access, instant messaging
capability, a projector and a screen. All should be available at the local
public library. All you need to get the webcast is a site that will be
posted to anybody who emails and asks.

Marie Mason is a loving mother of two and environmental and social justice
activist. On March 10 she along with four others were arrested by FBI and
homeland security agents and charged with two ELF related actions dating
back almost a decade.

Marie's case is the latest development in what has been dubbed the Green
Scare, a recent wave of government repression aimed at disrupting and
discrediting grassroots environmental activism and criminalizing dissent.
