Weekend of Resistance Against I-69!
Bloomington, In
April 18th-22nd
After over a decade and a half of concerted opposition and public
outcry against I-69, the State of Indiana and the Department of
Transportation have decided to continue to subvert democracy and undermine the
public interest. This February contracts were signed for the clearing
of land and demolition of houses along the first two miles of the
route. On Wednesday, April 3rd, bids were placed for the actual construction
of the first 1.77 miles of the NAFTA Superhighway.
A new phase of resistance is being initiated in response to the
disregard the state has shown for the families, forests, and land of
Southern Indiana. A weekend of resistance has been planned to kickoff a
reinvigorated campaign against the road that is sure to last well into the
future. Join us as we up the ante in the fight against I-69!
Friday, the 18th
There will be a potluck and workshops at Boxcar Books ( 310 S.
Washington) starting at 5:30pm. Workshops will include a history of
resistance to I-69, Know your rights/legal training, affinity group
model/security culture, DIY media, and medic training.
Saturday, the 19th
Parade!! A festive and family friendly march against I-69 will
take place. Meet at 2:00pm at Peoples Park (Kirkwood and Dunn).
Participants are encouraged to bring noise makers, drums, flags, wear costumes,
walk on stilts, breathe fire, juggle, and make your own signs expressing
how you feel about the road! This is a time for us all to express
ourselves and have fun!
Sunday, the 20th
Vegan Diner (fund raiser). Cheap and hearty vegan diner food will
be served from 10:00am - 3:00pm at 1305 W. 11th st. Come and enjoy a
laid back atmosphere, good food, and a chance to strengthen the multi
generational ties within this movement.
Monday, the 21st
Bloomington Assembly Against I-69. We will be having another big
public planning and strategy meeting at the Monroe County Public
Library. Meeting will be in room 1-C from 6:30 - 9:00pm. All are welcome.
Tuesday, the 22nd
Day of Action Against I-69! Make a difference this earth day by
organizing your own direct action against the superhighway. Autonomous
and decentralized actions may take place all day long. Get as creative as
you can and don't be shy, it is up to us all to make this day a
success!
Anti - I-69 Old Time Benefit Show: Leftwitch & Higgenbotham,
Hazelwood, and Fatted Calf String Band are playing at Max's Place at 7pm.
Good music, good atmosphere, good cause, and good beer. What more can you
ask for?
