Convergence to remember last year's simultaneous bombing of Iraq and extraction of Freshwater tree sitter activists and old growth logging. The one year anniversary of the same day bombing of Iraq and extraction of treesitters shows the inhuman tactics used by Simpson/MAXXAM/Pacific Lumber and the Bush/Cheney petrochemical war machine that divides the people and forces us to choose between peace and old growth forests. Come join us and tell the corporate imperialists that we want both!!
