Thursday August 16th @ 7pm- Earth First! Movie Night: "Pickaxe", a film
about an arsonist who burns 9000 acres of protected old-growth public
forest in Oregon the can not be logged unless it burns.To stop the proposed
"salvage" logging of this incredible ancient forest, citizens are moved to
blockade a road and keep the government out. After facing down a bulldozer
and the State Police, the fort now known as the gateway to the Cascadia
Free State becomes the focus for a developing community dedicated to
protecting ancient forests throughout the mountains of Oregon.
The film shows conf
rontations with disgruntled loggers, mass arrests and a 75 day hunger
strike. Back at Warner Creek activists build teepees and remain a living
blockade on the logging road through the winter and ten feet of snow.
Political pressure begins to shift and the White House promises a deal but
not before Federal Agents come to bust the camp and destroy the fort. The
story resolves with incredible footage of a mass jail break-in and
unconditional victory for the forest.

letters and books to prisoners. Contact prsionbooks AT gmail.com for more
