Join us on Monday March 5th at 7pm in Black Bear Bakery for plays, music, slideshows, puppets and skillshares and help build a culture of resistance to free trade super highway I-69 and all the devastation it brings to the earth, labor, and our society.
There is a terrible concrete monster yearning to burst forth from its slumber. It will be a leviathan feeding on corrupt construction contracts, sweatshops, hydroelectric dams, big-box stores, and resource extraction. It is named I-69. While it currently sleeping between
Canada's industrial heartland and Indianapolis, it is dreaming of the coming day (fast approaching in 2008) that it can grow, devastating all
of the land between central Indiana and the Texas-Mexico border.There it will connect with the horrifying infrastructure projects of the Plan
Puebla Panama.

As I-69 approaches the point of construction in our state, we want to begin the vital work of developing networks of resistance with other
communities threatened by this road's projected route. We want to build the kind of lasting ties that will sustain us all through a successful
campaign to shut down the insane plans to let the I-69 monster hatch and reproduce.

In this, we are inspired by resistance to the Plan Puebla Panama inCentral America, the self-organization of farmers along the route all
ready underway and by Earth First!'s long history of successful fights to slay([search]) the road monster. We are also motivated by the knowledge that we can't afford to fail- the cost will be too high: the destruction of tens of thousands of acres of forests, wetlands, and farms; increased oil
consumption at a time when we are facing catastrophic climate change; and the elimination of hundreds of human communities along with the further spread of suburban sprawl, convenience stores, and retail giants.
