THIS WEEK! 

YATES BUILDING ARRESTEES COURT _MON JAN 30
9AM_ _Orange County Courthouse, Hillsborough_ 

The individuals who were
arrested at the Yates Building occupation have court this coming Monday,
Jan 30th at 9am. Come out to the Hillsborough Courthouse to show your
support for them and to take a stand against the police raid. 

The DA's
office wants to close the court cases on Monday. They want to quiet the
outraged voices that have come from so many different corners of our
communities. Come out and show them that we won't be intimidated, that
we will fight the city government's attempts to suppress political
speech and action. Come out and show them that no matter what happens in
the courtroom, we won't stop organizing against the violent police-we
won't stop organizing for community control. 

PROTEST AT THE RALEIGH
MARRIOT AGAINST AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE _THU FEB 2 9AM_ _Marriot
City Center Hotel, 500 Fayetteville St. in Raleigh_ 

Croatan Earth
First! has called for a protest against the American Petroleum Institute
(the largest gas industry lobbying group in the country which represents
over 400 corporations ). This Thursday in Raleigh, API is presenting a
shale gas workshop to legislators to encourage them to support hydraulic
fracturing in North Carolina. API spends millions of dollars lobbying,
funneling money directly to legislators' campaigns, as well as spending
millions of dollars airing pro-fracking ads on television to convince
the public that natural gas is "green." API has already been working
closely with some legislators to construct industry friendly
regulations. 

The event has been billed as invite only, the public is
not welcome. Protesters are calling shadowy closed-door meetings like
this a clear violation of the democratic process that have no place in a
free and open society. Groups like North Carolina Sierra Club have
launched campaigns against fracking, and the Southern Environmental Law
Center has made the Piedmont one of the top 10 most endangered sites in
the Southeast due to the threat of natural gas development.
