Modesto Earth First! Day

Earth First! Day
Resist the Corporate Death Sprawl - Create Real Community!

Across the country, our earth draws closer to the brink. Global warming has become a fact in the eyes of the world’s top scientists, the world’s oceans rise in temperature as whole hosts of marine life are dying, and logging corporations cut deeper into the last of the world’s old growth forests. Globalization throughout the third world creeps into more and more indigenous cultures, either destroying them or turning them into de-facto slaves in corporate sweatshops for the so called, “free-market”.

Locally, urban sprawl is effecting us all. Local shops are driven under as the Wal-Marts and Barns-n-Nobel kill off anything resembling, local, union, good jobs. Rents are driven up everywhere, as people from other areas flee their own rising rents. Roads and strip malls destroy orchards, farms, and fields. Homeless people, youth, activists, and others who don’t fit into a plan for rapid corporitization are swept under the rug, in an effort to make Modesto safe for profit, and not for community. How much longer must we stand by and watch as the millions of pounds of smoke climb into the air on our way to work? How much longer will we watch as a new McDonalds is slopped into another area where good jobs and community based businesses used to exist? If there is going to be a start to stop this - let’s start on a day where we are supposed to care about the earth - EARTH DAY! Let’s make this day EARTH FIRST DAY!
