You know there's a war going on right now in Northern California....... [View all]

In Willits. Caltrans and the increasingly militarized CHP against protestors against the destruction of vital habitat in order to build a road there so walmart can send bigger trucks. (and the first leg in the plan to widen Highway 1 in crucial zones including Richardson's Grove redwood park north of Willits)

From Willits Tomorrow FB page: https://www.facebook.com/WillitsTomorrow I've been following and this is the real deal. People shot out of machinery, rubber bullets all of that. senior citizen beaten etc....


Looks like The Two Machines responsible for Caltrans Drying out of the Wetlands in the Willits- Little Lake Valley are a little bit "Tied and Tangled Up" . Not only that but Will is watered and fed and has supplies to last for a while. The irresponsible CHP Tactic of trying to starve and dehydrate Will from the top of a 70 foot crane endangered Will's life, but the CHP tactic didn't work ! This morning the second climber, "Froglamander", threw a line across to Will and sent him much needed food and water.
Power to the People. IMUA!
Save Little Lake valley Wetlands, they are the Headwaters to the Wild and Scenic , Majestic Eel River.
Caltrans Out of Little Lake Valley!
