Hi everyone,

I heard that you have connections with a couple groups that might be

interested in presenting at this event. Please pass this message on and let

me know what you think.

There is an event happening at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, called the

Greenscare Day of Solidarity, on Saturday, December 9 from 10-3, in Atwater

Kent. It will be conference of environmentalists from the Worcester, Boston,

Providence, and Portland Areas. In addition to providing a networking

opportunity, the event is being held in order "to raise awareness about the

Green Scare and show solidarity with those targeted by it." We are looking

for speakers and panel members for discussions. Please read more.

>From Greenscare.org <http://greenscare.org/>: "The term Green Scare refers

to the Red Scares of the early twentieth century, made famous by the

McCarthy hearings and the House Un-American Activities Committee. The Green

Scare demonstrates a similar systematic criminalization of dissent as the

U.S. government is using all its tactics (e.g., grand juries, specialized

legislation, paid agents provocateurs) to target the radical environmental

and animal rights movements, those who publicly support them, and others who

struggle for a healthy, diverse eco-system and the rights of animals."

The event will include several speakers and panel discussions, as well as

breakout sessions. The suggested topics include: the current climate for

activists, the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, specific cases, and ways we

can promote justice. We also hope to hear talk about the philosophy of

non-violence and political activity in a repressive state.

If you or anyone you know would be interested in attending and/or speaking

at this event, please let me know ASAP. If you have any suggestions or

contacts, any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your time. I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Solidarity,

Marty Driggs
