I-69 is a NAFTA superhighway, already constructed from Canada to Indianapolis and projected to extend down into Mexico. This highway is intended for the mass transportation of goods and resources, to further exploit workers and the land, and to lessen companies’ accountability in terms of human and environmental rights. In 2008, they intend to begin construction of this road through southwestern Indiana, evicting hundreds of rural families, destroying hundreds of acres of land, and devastating the habitats of countless species of animals, many of them already endangered.

RIGHT NOW OUR COMRADES IN INDIANA (INCLUDING PEOPLE FROM OLYMPIA AND THE GENERAL NORTHWEST AREA) ARE FACING INTENSE POLICE REPRESSION AND NEED OUR HELP! FUNDS FOR LEGAL DEFENSE AND OTHER BASIC SUPPLIES ARE URGENTLY NEEDED. for more info check out stopi69.wordpress.com

Show solidarity and join us for a night of delicious food, good music, and great friends!

FRIDAY JULY 25TH 222 MILROY ST (the Peach Pit) 6:30 pm
