DESCRIPTION:Call to Action: Protest Against MLPA\n\nCoastal Justice Coalition\n\nThe 
 Coastal Justice Coalition (CJC), a branch of the Klamath Justice Coalition, 
 is an activist group comprised of tribal people and interested community 
 members concerned with social /environmental issues along the Pacific 
 coast.\n\nThe CJC is very concerned with the impacts that the Marine Life 
 Protection Act (MLPA) has on tribal gathering along the Pacific coast.  
 Some tribal members have taken the position that regardless of the outcome 
 of the MLPA process they will continue to gather, a position that the CJC 
 fully supports and encourages.\n\nThe MLPA, in our view, is another attack 
 on tribal rights and sovereignty.  Therefore, we feel we must defend our 
 rights and our lands through non-violent direct action.  The MLPA process 
 completely disregards tribal gathering rights and only permits discussion 
 of commercial and recreational harvest. Our voice has not been heard; 
 therefore, we feel we must stand and make our message be heard.\n\nThe next 
 Blue Ribbon Task Force meeting is where we take our stand. If your way of 
 life is being targeted for MLPA restrictions, meet us at 11:30 AM at the 
 corner of Oak and Main St. in Fort Bragg on Wednesday, July 21st, to 
 protest. We are joining forces with other non-tribal groups that are also 
 being affected and feel it is an injustice to stop tribal gathering. This 
 is an attack that has already affected too many tribal people. To show 
 solidarity, blue t-shirts will be handed out to be worn during the protest. 
 There will be an action for those who want to express a stronger 
 message.\n\nLimited transportation is available from the Humboldt-Del Norte 
 area. For more information, please contact Frankie Myers at (707) 951-5052 
 or Georgiana K. Myers at work #: 707-482-1350 ext. 302 or cell #:
