donation suggested-no one turned away.

** The Green Scare is a federal round-up environmental and animal rights
activists, which The National Lawyer's Guild among others has
condemned as  unconstitutional.
Officially called "Operation Backfire", this wide-scale orchestrated
investigation of activists uses paid informants, warrantless spying on a
range of organizations, and threats of severe sanctions to leverage fear of
conviction under unprecedented penalties for property crimes. 888-NLG-ECOLAW
is a hotline established to support these activists. Visit
www.greenscare.org <http://greenscare.org/> for more info on solidarity with
Green Scare victims. **



** *The G8, or Group of 8, is the seven wealthiest industrialized nations in
the world plus Russia. They officially meet once a year to strategize
policies and plan their joint domination of the world, and in recent years
have been confronted by intense popular demonstrations wherever they go. The
political heads of these countries -- the U.S., Canada, England, France,
Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan -- are pushing the agenda of corporate
globalization at the cost of the welfare of the people they claim to
represent. We take to the streets when the G8 meets to reject their
worldview of profit at any cost, and to reclaim our commons of autonomous
political space. Authentic democracy or corporate oligarchy? The choice is
ours... ** *
