Update from Katie: I’m out of jail!!

I’m out of jail!!

My three friends and fellow protestors are still in jail and continued
support for them would be fantastic! Support either through letters, positive thoughts or donations to the legal fund so they can be bailed out are all greatly appreciated!

Sit-In at EPA Headquarters to protest Pine Creek Permit

Our Friends from Rainforest Action Network staged a sit-in this morning at EPA Headquarters, where activists occupied the lobby and used metal lock boxes to lock themselves together.  The sit-in was to bring attention to EPA’s
