Civil Disobedience

G8 Summit March to Sea Island 2004

Sun, 04/15/2012 - 11:18am — FluxRostrum

In brutal 100 degree heat a small pack of protesters insist on marching down the CLOSED 8 mile stretch of road to the Sea Island Georgia G8 Summit in 2004. They were flanked the entire way by National Guard and robo cops attempting to intimidate them into turning around. Eventually some were arrested at the entrance to the "secure zone" for breaching a police line while seated in the street.  This video has been brought out of the closete UN Redidted.  Presented just as it was edited on the night of this action.

Tools for a Movement of Leaders: How to Negotiate with the Police

Sat, 03/17/2012 - 8:39pm — FluxRostrum

This video from the 2004 G8 Summit in Brunswick Georgia is an excellent case study of successful negotiation with the police.  A small Black Bloc marches off on a breakaway march to an intersection that would block the only way on to Sea Island, where the Summit was being held.  Watch Lisa Fithian and a group of rambunctious, ballsy youth navigate this potentially disastrous maneuver.

The March on Blair Mountain 2011

Kayford Mountain Reclamation Direct Action

Fri, 10/29/2010 - 12:25pm — FluxRostrum

44 people risked arrest Oct 24th on Kayford Mountain, WV by trespassing on a
Patriot Coal Company "reclamation" site to plant trees. Once all the
trees were planted and the activists were not under arrest, they walked
back off with their shovels.

Mountain Top Removal creates a fraction of the jobs needed for a healthy Appalachian economy.  A recently propsed Srip Mine operation claimed it would cost 250 million for the project and create 250 jobs...  250 jobs an hundreds of miles of destroyed mountains and streams.  Maybe there's another way to create some jobs...?

Katie Huszcza, Colin Flood, Jimmy Tobias, and Sophie Kern, activists with Mountain Justice and Climate Ground Zero were arrested last night and are held on a collective $12,000 bail. They were participating in an act of non-violent civil disobedience against the destructive and irresponsible practice of mountain top removal by locking themselves to a high wall miner on Coal River Mountain.

For 9 days 3 tree sitters stopped blasting on a mountain top removal site tha is adjacent to a coal slurry impoundment that is perched over top of a grade school.  It has been proven that if the dam breaks at least a 1,000 WILL die VERY quickly.

It has also been proven that the Mountain they are blowing up for coal would be more profitable to the people and the state as a wind farm.  However once Massey energy blows up this mountain the wind potential will be ruined.

Two tree sitters remain in jail on $2,500 cash-only bail, each, after stopping a blast on Coal River Mountain for nine days. CLICK HERE TO DONATE More info at http://www.climategroundzero.org.
