Stop I-69

The Indiana Department of Transportation is having a secret groundbreaking ceremony for I-69 this week. If you’re reading this, you’re probably not invited. The I-69 Listening Project and Roadblock Earth First! are putting on a counter-party to speak against the construction of this highway and work towards the construction of community. Landowers and activists will speak about how and why the construction of I-69 will be so destructive and about the seventeen-year-old campaign against this road. Come listen, learn, and spend time with us! We’ll set up a barbeque and bring a selection of side dishes and dessert. Bring food to throw on the grill and to share!

Logistical info: July 20, 2008, 3 pm, at Werth Park on SR-64, just west of SR-57 near Oakland City.

Also July 28 is the National Day of Mobilization against I-69. There are lots of corporations involved with its construction, and they have offices all over the place. See “Those Responsible” to find a list of the culpable parties.

There are now beautiful flyers for both of these events up on the Resources page, under the flyers section!!
